My setup right now is to upload my ePubs to Google Play Books. Once your document/book is uploaded you can access it from the app on Android/iOS or directly from the web-reader on any browser.

Play Books automatically syncs your reading progress, notes, bookmarks etc and there's no additional overhead on your part.

Completely agree. Plus, it can generate a beautiful document with your notes and highlights. The only downside is the iOS reader. It is slow to advance pages, klunky in its operation and inaccurate when you want to highlight a passage. In comparison, the Kindle reader has a beautiful and butterly highlighting tool. The Google team should outright copy this part (unless its patented, which wouldn’t surprise me).

I've found the native Books app on iOS to be very nice to use. Especially with the infinite scroll feature. That would definitely be something that Google should adopt for their app.

Yes that's the only solution I have found to sync progress on iPad, Android, and linux. If any FOSS solution exists on all these platforms in order to sync position progress I'm all ears.

This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Thank you so much for introducing me to this. The only downside is the fact that my Kindle does not support this app but oh well.

I wish Amazon allowed syncing of highlights / bookmarks for uploaded books.

Take BookFusion for a spin. I posted above. We have a Send to Kindle option that will allow you to easily send your eBooks or documents to your Kindle device.

We will later also allow you to import your Kindle highlights and notes.

Whenever I use the web reader (in both Chrome and Firefox) and choose one page layout, it formats it so all the text is in a narrow column with large spaces on either side. Have you run into this at all?

Interesting solution,thanks ! However, upload seem to only be available from the desktop and annotations are quite primitive (especially on phone/ipad). So it works perfectly for books, not so much for storing and annotating all documents

You can also upload from iOS by using the "Copy to Play Books" option in the Share menu.

you can upload epubs from the android app. I just downloaded a file and uploaded it on my android device yesterday.

Does it support PDFs? I've never tried Play Books

[freedomben]

Yes it does support PDFs. Of course if you have an epub it will look better on a mobile device, but you can still use PDFs and get the sync features.
