To receive Kindle content that was sent to your device:

1. From Home, select the Quick Actions (cog) icon (newer generation devices), or Menu (earlier generation devices).
2. Select Sync My Kindle (newer generation devices), or Sync & Check for Items (earlier generation devices).

Titles sent to your Kindle and saved bookmarks and annotations should start downloading to your device.

By default, your book should sync to the most recent page read across all devices and Kindle reading apps registered to your Amazon account.

If you'd like to manually sync to the most recent page read:

1. While reading, select the Quick Actions (cog) icon (newer generation devices), or select Menu (earlier generation devices).
