Mikah Sargent: 针对Kindle设备和应用之间书籍不同步的问题,Mikah Sargent提出了一系列的排查和解决方法。首先,他建议检查并更新Kindle应用到最新版本,因为Amazon同时支持旧版和新版应用,旧版应用可能存在同步问题。如果更新应用后问题仍然存在,他建议用户尝试注销并重新登录Amazon账户,这有时可以解决同步问题。如果以上方法无效,他建议用户使用Hazel或CleanMyMac等工具彻底卸载Kindle应用,清除应用缓存,然后重新安装。最后,他还建议用户检查Kindle设备的网络连接是否正常,并重启设备。 Mark: Mark描述了他在使用Kindle Paperwhite和多个安装了Kindle应用的苹果设备时遇到的同步问题。他表示,即使在每个应用上都启用了同步功能,但在一个设备上阅读的进度也不会反映到其他设备上,导致他需要不断查找正确的章节或页面。他尝试过一些方法,但都没有解决问题,因此向Mikah Sargent寻求帮助。
