How to Sync a Kindle to an iPad

Syncing is a process where you synchronize the contents of one device with another so that each device contains the exact same data. For example, when you sync your Kindle eBook reader with the Kindle iPad application, your books, bookmarks and notes will be identical on each machine. By syncing, you can begin reading a book on one device, then seamlessly pick up where you left off on the other device. You don't have to worry about when and how to sync the two devices. When you open the Kindle app on the iPad, the iPad checks if syncing is necessary and prompts you to complete a few steps.

Instructions

1. Tap on the Kindle application icon on your iPad. The iPad opens the Kindle app. In the bottom right-corner, you'll see a message stating that the iPad is searching for updated content.

2. Tap on the book you are reading. The Kindle app opens the book and displays a message box "Sync to Furthest Page." In the box you'll receive this message: " You are currently on page xx. The furthest read page across all devices is 'xxx.' Go to that Page?"

3. Press the "Yes" button to sync your Kindle book to the iPad. The iPad opens the page you last read on your Kindle device. Your Kindle device and KIndle app on the iPad are in sync.
