- Go to the device where you have the book at the location where you want it to be set (either at the beginning of the book or at a given page)
- Go to your “Manage Your Kindle” page on http://www.Amazon.com
My Account > Digital Content > Manage Your Kindle
- Go all the way to the bottom of the page
See “Manage Synchronization between devices”
Click that link
- You’ll see on the right of the page “Turn Synchronization Off” button
Click it to turn Synchronization OFF
- Go back to your Kindle device or app, press >Sync to furthest page read
then close the book and REMOVE THE BOOK from your device
- Retrieve the book from your Archived books
- Open it up and it should be where you closed it
- Go back to your Manage your Kindle page on http://Amazon.com and turn Synchronization back on
- Synch to furthest page read
Now all instances of the book are where you want it to be.
Sounds like a long procedure but it goes fast once I understood the logic
Procedure confirmed for the Kindle on PC app
