No Sync between Opera on Kindle Fire and Opera on PC

My Opera on Kindle (side loaded from googleplay) does not sync with the Opera browser on my PC.
I am logged in on both devices.
Any ideas on why this may occur? how to fix? TY

I want the bookmarks on both app's to sync in the background. I am logged in in the Settings on both devices.

@jimjinnj As far as I know, Opera mini syncs bookmarks, so you should see the bookmarks of Opera Mini on the desktop and vice-versa.

Unless you are using an old version of Opera Mini. What version are you using?

@leocg I have version 62.1.3146.57513.
It often notifies me is has been updated.
I see that it is syncing the Speed dials from other devices. but not the bookmarks per se.
would I be better off with Opera Mini instead?

@jimjinnj So you have Opera for Android, not Opera Mini.

Take a look at opera://sync-internals/. The board on the right says that bookmarks are being synced?

@leocg thanks for the fast reply. unfortunately I have no idea how to get to that file/location on the Kindle Fire. I'll search around with ES File Explorer.

He means you should type opera://sync-internals/ in Opera's address bar on your Fire tablet. That will show some diagnostics which might help pinpoint what's wrong.

@yeswap
got it. there are ~8 tabs across top--about, types, Data, Events.
In Data I see many check boxes. all are checked including Bookmarks. I don't find anything saying sync took place however.

@jimjinnj The page seems to be broken in Opera for Android. In Opera for desktops you will see a table with what is being synced.

@leocg any advantage to reinstalling Opera?

@jimjinnj I'm sure how to read that page. On mine I see things like syncer_ok and running that suggest everything's working. I expect that if something was wrong I'd see error somewhere.

@yeswap just did this on my PC version of Opera. I see all the info you mention. none of that on the kindle/adroid.

@jimjinnj Probably not.
