I had been on hold for several minutes with b&n support when I found your article. Your instructions for syncing the two worked beautifully!! I didn’t even have to push the sync button on the iPad after syncing the nook. It just did it when I opened the book, asking me if I wanted to switch pages.

The Nook syncing seems to be pretty flaky. This practice will not even work reliably between two Android devices. Mind you, it definitely SHOULD work, and it’s a totally logical thing to try, and if it works for you, great, but it will not work in every case.

What I have found is that while the reading position will never sync from the tab to the phone (syncs fine from phone to tab, which is more annoying than useful), the other markup — annotations, bookmarks, highlights — will sync both ways without a problem.

This opens up the field for another simple workaround: Set a bookmark for your last page before you lay down one device to go to another.

Rick: you probably don’t have the right permissions to edit the file.

Try using “sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list” in step one, and follow the directions from there.

So I just found this on a Google search and gave it a try. The Android app does not jump to the last bookmarked page from the iPad app, however I did see that the bookmark was synced and there to select when I opened the contents and went to the bookmarks tab. I wish the Android app would do the same as the iPad one.

Fantastic, this is the only properly working tutorial for installing Java on a new VPS that I’ve been able to find.
