On a Kobo you can also adjust word spacing in the configuration file. Fortunately I use small enough font (plus custom margins on my Oasis, smaller than the default ones), so huge spaces between words aren't that common for me. I detest hyphenation and disable it on my Kobos. One man's bread is another's poison and so on. You still don't get kerning and ligatures that you get with KFX format but at least there is the hyphenation. If by 'looking pretty' you primarily meant the text layout (and not also the cover thumbnails on cover view) you can at least have both the syncing and fix those disgustingly huge spaces between the words ( in every line / row of text that couldn't have a long word split on a syllable) that are the worst thing about reading old mobi format by sending an epub with added soft hyphens (using Calibre built-in functionality for that or the 'Hyphenate This' plugin) since then Amazon's PDOCs service will deliver an azw3 containing soft hyphens and the azw3 renderer on Kindle will hyphenate long words at the end of the rows. Most EPUB files use UTF-8 encoding, but unless this is explicitly defined in the EPUB file, the Send to Kindle service will assume it’s in another format. (Sync has always been important to me, I have 3 kindles and grab the first one I find, and my memory is not so great for sure.)

Now I will look into how to export the annotations. You could always use bookmarks and export your annotations from time to time to keep track of reading positions in case your device craps out on you and you have to start over. Whispersync didn't really get that much of a use from me.Īfter Amazon axed mobi/azw, it was between my Kindle looking pretty or the ability to sync reading progress. It's small enough that I can put it in my bag and take it with me outside. These days I find myself only reading on my Kindle. It was really convenient for me at first because I used to switch phones really often (I used to have bad luck with phones, they always broke) and everything would be the same after I re-installed the app.

I stuck to Kindle because of this function. Whispersync won't be available for USB sideloaded books.
