Progress Sync across different platforms
Finally got around to installing KOReader on my Kobos (Aura HD and Glo HD).
So far so good except for progress sync. Syncing works fine between PW3 & PW4 and between Aura HD & Glo HD. Alas, syncing between Kobo & Kindle isn't working. How does progress sync work? The wiki states the following so I assumed it was going by checksum or something. Given it won't sync progress on identical files between Kobo & Kindle, it appears it's using some other identifier that's not intrinsic to the epub. The epubs even have the same path and filename except for obvious reasons the Kindle's on /mnt/us/ and the Kobo's on /mnt/onboard/. Quote:

There's possibly a bit of hashing involved, but take that with a grain of salt, as I'm extremely unfamiliar with that bit of code.
Are the actual files identical on your end? How do you transfer them? (Might be a case of Calibre using a different output template?). |

Spoiler:
Looks like KOSync uses the partial_md5_checksum as identifier for syncing. My problem was I just overwrote fanfics with updated versions leading to wrong partial_md5_checksum in metadata.epub.lua. I deleted the sidecar folder forcing KOReader to recalculate the md5 sum and sync worked. |
