  <p>Now if I want to see highlights sync immediately between the devices I have to go to the Library after adding a highlight and then go to Library on the other device, press sync and go back into the book. Then a few seconds later the highlight appears.

Answers.Body: <p>Kindle might be the worst app I've ever seen. The great Amazon knows how to ruin their reputation with this little software. The best way to sync accross all devices is sync the device you did a lot of works on, delete the book on the target device to sync with, and then download the book again. This is the only solution working 100% I've found so far. I cannot believe how few the number of additional options other than highlights and notes are implemented on Kindle. There are billion users out there in the world and Amazon seems to ignore how much they are frustrated about this app.</p>

Comments.Text: Having the same problem with syncing highlights between Kindle iPhone app and Kindle Mac app. It's quite pathetic that Amazon can build the most advanced cloud infrastructure and speech recognition, but fails implementing a reliable sync mechanism for their own ebook ecosystem :(
