Read position not syncing across devices
I use only the Calibre web reader on both my IOS and Windows device so that the read data can sync at all times.
However, it seems to be that it only syncs on my Windows computer. When I go to my IOS device (Iphone 8 Plus) it starts from page 1 again. It seems to sync the reading position across all computers, just not my phone. When I press reload the book nothing happens. When I press sync, nothing happens. It just starts from page 1 again. All help is appreciated! Last edited by DaleJV; 12-12-2021 at 08:56 PM. Reason: Added extra information |

You are using the same content server user account on both devices I assume?

It's possible it doesnt work in iOS, Safari is by far the worst browser of the lot and Apple doesnt allow any other browser engines on their phones. Does it work in safari on your mac (assuming you have one). And if it doesnt, can you open developer tools in safari on your mac and post any error messages that show up in the console there.

Sadly I dont currently posses a working iOS device so its hard for me to test. I will see if I can replicate it on my mac safari however, when I have a moment.

I tried it on my mac with the following steps:
1) opena book on my main computer and scroll to chapter two 2) open the same book on safari on the mac, it opened at chapter two 3) close book on main computer 4) scroll to chapter four in safari 5) open book in main computer, it opens at chapter 4 I'm afraid I cant do much else without an iOS device, sorry. |
