Just so you know, if you use the WhisperSync feature and it doesn't sync properly, you're supposed to be able to hit the back button and it will put you back to where you were before you did the sync.

I haven't tried this yet, but I read it yesterday. (And for the life of me, I can't find where I read it, but I'm looking)

I'll try to steal the KK back so I can test it.

Jeremy - they already have. At http://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle
there is a link to 'sychronization' of your Kindles and when you click on that it gives you a choice to turn off synchronization for multiple reader accounts.

Someone said there's a way to do it on the Kindle too but I leave that for Leslie to find

At Amazon on the manageyourpage area for your Kindle acct, they put the k2's synchronization feature 'On' probably for the transfer of books if you're a K1 person who is ordering a K2 and would need the transfer capability and syncing of books for that process.

Yes, but it doesn't work if you have two different people on the account and one of them has 2 kindles. If the WhisperSync feature is on and the two are reading the same book andthe person who has two wants to read on another kindle, the sync won't work without messing up where the other person is in her book.

It only really works if there's one person on the account with 2 kindles

Yes but how do you find it works when you DO want to sync between 2 kindles but not the third in the house. It seems to be an all or nothing deal. There doesn't seem to be a way to counter this problem.

Yes, so I was actually answering the comment that there should be a way to counter this problem.

As I said, there is a way. We turn synchronization Off, as I did today and I gave the page where we can do that. I go into the K1 to check out some things but I don't want the K2 to be thinking K1's last-visited viewing is where I want to be with the K2. So, we can turn it off. And that problem is solved. (At least it was for me.)

But what if there is a second human and a third Kindle in the mix!!! And that person needs to sync for some reason.

Don't look at me. luvmy4brats asked. I can barely afford the K2 I got, let alone one more and a book.

I'll just do what I've always done. Write the location number down from where I left off and search for that location on new Kindle.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that Amazon should have a system where you can choose which Kindle to sync with. I can send books to Orion, Bella, and Eleanor, why can't I choose which of those to Sync with? It would work much better if when I want to sync it asks which Kindle I would like to sync with instead of just syncing to the last point read.

Hopefully, Amazon isn't finished working out the bugs with this. Even when trying to sync between them, it only works properly about 50-75% of the time anyway.
