Reset The Furthest Page Read On The Kindle

When using Whispersync, staying on the correct page across multiple devices works great–until you decide to re-read your content.
You read thru a book on either your Kindle and your iPhone (or another Kindle). First time thru, you stay in sync on any device. Later you decide to either re-read or restart the book. Unfortunately, the ‘Sync to Furthest Page Read’ will always be the furthest page you got to, so your furthest read page remains at either the end of the book or the furthest page you got to and Whispersync will be let you know when you open that book on the device. You can tell it not to go to the furthest page and continue reading. Go to the other device and try to sync, and you will be taken to the furthest page read, not the place you were at when you stopped reading on the other device.

Nutty way to have to re-set the last read page on the Kindle, but it does work.
