ibooks syncing between iphone and ipad

Is there a way to keep both my iPhone and iPad books in sync between my iPhone and iPad? Just like Amazon Kindle that you can read on one device and continue where you left off on another device. Your placeholders and bookmards are constantly in sync. I'd like to be able to do that without have to connect to my MacBook. I thought this should be possible now with iCloud.

Settings -> iBooks -> sync Bookmarks/Collections -> turn both on, do this on both iPhone and ipad.

My new iPad mini had the iBooks, Sync Bookmarks and Sync Collections turned on by default. But my iPhone 4s did not. Snyc didn't work after I turned them on for the iPhone. But after a shutdown and restart of the phone, it worked. I also "stopped" the iBooks app on the iPad. When I relaunced iBooks on the iPhone, it asked me if I wanted to Sync with iCloud--I said Yes.


Now bookmarks show up on the iPad (I had created the bookmarks on the iPhone).
