This post by Bufo Calvin originally appeared in the I Love My Kindle blog. 🙂 That’s just a pedantic quibble, though * “Furthest” should really be “Farthest”, of course…and there aren’t any pages in e-books. Once again, Amazon makes things easier for their customers! I thought it was really terrific when they let us “return” books from MYK within seven days of purchase…this is also nice. I’m not in a place where I can test this right now, but I’ll try it later. Two people could have the book on different devices and be in different places…how would it know which page to use? That language suggests to me that it would not just reset it to the first page, but to wherever you happened to be when you went to MYK. The next time you open that title on a device, the page where it opens will become the new furthest page read that syncs across all your devices and apps.” “To reset your furthest page read in Manage Your Kindle, click the Actions button next to the title and choose “Reset furthest page read” from the dropdown menu. If you choose to do it, it will reset the page for you. If you select that, it sort of explains it. There are all sorts of magical things there. What we’ve had to do in the past was contact Kindle Support This will set the “last page read” to the end of the book. We’ve always been able to go back to the beginning, but Whispersync might want to synchronize it to the end before we finished the re-read.Ī third issue is when someone clicks or taps an endnote, jumps to the end of the book…and then goes Home before going Back to where they were. One negative is if two different people on the account are going to read the same book on different devices at the same time.Īnother problem is when you finish a book, and you’d like to re-read it. That works very well if one person is reading the same book on multiple devices (a Kindle and a SmartPhone, for example…I’ve done it with a Kindle Fire and a Kindle Touch). It allows you to be reading a book on one device, and then pick up in the same spot where you left off on another device. Part of the Kindle Service is something called “Whispersync”. Thanks to *~*Pineapple*~* in the Amazon Kindle forum for the heads-up on this! Flash! You can now reset your “furthest page read” yourself
