    It should - assuming the book was not already open on the second platform.

    If it was open, it is left at the most recent place read on that platform

    If you are seeing different behaviour to this, please advise

    You say "Open, close mobile, and vice versa…" But I think you have to have the book closed on the one app ie. mobile, then if reading on the other app ie. desktop, when you open the mobile app and then open that book it should sync. But if you open the mobile app and that book is already opened, it will be where you left off when you were on the mobile app last and not sync from the desktop.

    Yes sir, I will advise…as I have tried various options…leave DT(desktop) open, close mobile, and vice versa and have yet to figure out which scenario works. Sometimes I read on my phone, then go to DT, then the other way and it's not the same. so, I know this is a tired subject and appreciate your time in replying. TY !

    Thank you Graham and Joey for replying. I was not closing the book on whichever app, before using the other...problem solved. Thank you both very much.
