IBooks will not sync notes, bookmarks, highlights, etc with cloud iOS 9.3

SInce the iOS 9.3 update (I'm on iOS 9.3.1 now) notes, annotations, bookmarks, etc made on my iPhone, iPad or iMac do not sync with iCloud and with the other Apple devices.


this is a very important feature.


i Have signed out and back into iTunes, iCloud and rebooted each device with no effect or improvement. I have tuned "Bookmarks Syncing" off and on in iBooks with no effect.

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.1, IPad Air 2, 2011 iMac 27"

Same issue as well. I dont understand why they cant just add a "sync bookmarks" button inside of ibooks or allow you to pull down the bookmarks to refresh any new ones added. Its frustrating to attempt to read a book across multiple devices when everytime you go between your iPad and iPhone you have to spend 10 mins finding where you were up to. i might read 100 pages in a night. then trying to find that exact spot on my phone the next day is far too time consuming.

I even have books and pdfs synced through icloud drive. So why arent the bookmarks treated the same?

Please just add a button that allows us to quickly update our bookmarks. the current feature is broken for a lot of people.


Its not just this ios, its been a problem for a while. Ive spent hours attempting anything i could possibly think of to get it to work with no result.
