I’ve explored this topic extensively. Most modern EPUB readers do support syncing progress across devices, but it depends heavily on the app or ecosystem you’re using. Apps like 'Google Play Books' and 'Apple Books' have built-in syncing features that automatically save your progress to the cloud. If you switch from your phone to a tablet, the last page you read will be waiting for you. The catch is that you need to be logged into the same account on all devices and have an active internet connection. Some third-party apps like 'Moon+ Reader' or 'Lithium' also offer sync, but they often require additional setup, like linking to Dropbox or Google Drive. It’s not as seamless as the native solutions, but it works reliably once configured.
For those who use Amazon’s Kindle app, syncing is a breeze if the book is purchased from Amazon or converted to their proprietary format. However, sideloaded EPUBs might not sync unless you use their 'Send to Kindle' feature, which converts the file. The downside is losing some formatting control. Calibre, a popular ebook management tool, can help bridge gaps by converting files to compatible formats, but it adds steps to the process. The key takeaway is that syncing is possible, but the ease varies. Cloud integration is the biggest factor, so sticking to one ecosystem simplifies things. If you jump between platforms, you might face friction, but tools exist to mitigate it. The tech is there; it’s just not universally effortless yet.

I’ve had decent luck with the simple "Books" app that comes on Apple devices if you stick within their ecosystem. You can add EPUBs to it via iTunes/Finder on a Mac or PC, and they sync via iCloud to iPhone and iPad. It doesn’t have a dedicated PC app, but you can read on a Mac. For a free, built-in solution for Apple users, it’s shockingly capable. The sync is automatic and fast. It’s just a shame there’s no proper Windows or web client, locking out a true cross-platform experience.

EBookDroid is another reader from the same developers as Librera, and it shares the same powerful sync capabilities.
It's a bit more focused on older Android versions and specific formats, but the core principle is the same: point it at a synced cloud folder, and your library and progress follow you. These apps from the 'Librera family' are like Swiss Army knives—overwhelming at first, but incredibly capable once you learn where the settings are. If you need to sync a mixed library of comics, PDFs, and novels, they're hard to beat.

tablet, and e-reader for years, and syncing progress is a game-changer. Most major apps like Kindle or Kobo handle this automatically if you use the same account. Just make sure your devices are connected to the internet, and the app will sync your last read page, highlights, and notes. I love how seamless it feels—I can start reading on my e-reader at home, then pick up right where I left off on my phone during my commute. Some apps even let you manually trigger a sync if it doesn’t happen automatically, which is handy when switching devices frequently.

syncing progress with free PDF readers can be tricky but doable. One method I swear by is using cloud storage like Google Drive or Dropbox. I save the PDF there and open it with a reader like Adobe Acrobat Reader or Xodo, which often remembers the last page. Not all free apps support sync natively, but if you stick to one app and log in across devices, some like Moon+ Reader (though primarily for ePubs) offer limited free sync via their own servers. For a purely PDF-focused solution, I sometimes manually note the page number in a note-taking app synced to all devices—low-tech but reliable.

I use Goodreads as my manual sync. Hear me out. I don't rely on app automation. When I stop reading, I quickly update my 'currently reading' progress on Goodreads via the website or app. Since Goodreads is just a website, I can check it on any device to see what page or percentage I was at.
It's not automated, but it's platform-agnostic, works with any reading app or physical book, and creates a nice reading log as a bonus. It adds a 10-second ritual to my reading session that I've come to enjoy. Low-tech, high-reliability.

I need an EPUB reader that syncs seamlessly across my phone, tablet, and laptop. After testing countless apps, I’ve settled on 'Lithium' for its clean interface and reliable cloud sync via Google Drive or Dropbox. It remembers my last read page, highlights, and notes—no fuss. For a more feature-rich option, 'ReadEra' offers cross-device syncing through its own cloud, though it requires a bit of setup. Both are free and ad-free, which is a huge plus.
Another standout is 'Moon+ Reader,' which supports custom sync solutions like WebDAV. It’s highly customizable, letting you tweak fonts, themes, and even scrolling animations. While the free version has ads, the Pro version (a one-time purchase) unlocks full sync capabilities. If you prioritize aesthetics, 'FBReader' with its OPDS catalog sync is a solid pick, though it lacks some advanced features. Ultimately, the best choice depends on whether you value simplicity or customization.

I've found that syncing progress can be tricky but not impossible with free apps. The key is using apps that offer cloud-based accounts like Kindle (even the free version), Moon+ Reader, or Google Play Books. You need to create an account within the app and ensure 'sync reading position' is enabled in settings.
For Kindle, your progress syncs automatically if the book is from Amazon. For third-party apps like Moon+, you must manually upload your EPUBs to their cloud service. Google Play Books is simpler—just upload your EPUBs to their cloud and it syncs across Android/iOS devices. A common mistake is forgetting to enable 'backup reading position' in advanced settings. Always check if your app uses its own cloud or relies on Dropbox/Google Drive integration. Some apps like FBReader require plugins for cross-device syncing, which can be frustrating.
