Sync? I've been using the msel library app for about eight months, and cross-device progress sync is honestly one of its most reliable features. I'll start a chapter on my phone during my commute, then pick up exactly where I left off on my tablet at home. It just works in the background.
I did have one weird hiccup a while back where my progress on an older epub got stuck for a day, but a manual refresh in the app settings fixed it. I think it depends on having a stable connection when you close a book—if your signal drops, it might not update the cloud until you reopen. But for the vast majority of the time, it's seamless and something I don't even think about anymore, which is the real sign of a feature done right.

Yes, it does sync progress across devices. I use it on my phone and desktop browser daily, and the last-read position is consistently updated. Just make sure you're logged into the same account on all devices and have background data/sync enabled in the app settings. The sync happens automatically when you close a book or switch chapters.

Honestly, I find the sync to be a bit overrated? Or maybe my expectations are too high. It syncs the overall book progress percentage fine, but sometimes it doesn't capture my last read page position accurately, especially if I jump around a lot within a chapter. I'll open my laptop and it'll take me to the start of the chapter I was in, not the specific paragraph. For linear reading it's mostly okay, but if you're a heavy note-taker or use bookmarks heavily, the sync feels more like a rough estimate than a precise continuation.

My experience has been positive, but with a caveat: the sync seems instantaneous for books purchased directly through the msel store, but there's a noticeable lag—sometimes a few minutes—for sideloaded documents I've uploaded to my personal cloud library. It's as if their system prioritizes its own catalog. Still, it does eventually sync. This isn't a dealbreaker for me, but it's worth knowing if you rely heavily on importing your own files. The core functionality is there and works reliably enough that I never lose my place, which is the main thing I care about at the end of the day.

It syncs, and pretty well in my use. The progress bar and chapter position move between my phone and my partner's tablet without issue. I haven't tested it with audiobooks from their service, but for standard e-books, it's solid. No complaints on that front.

I've explored several apps that sync reading progress seamlessly. Apps like 'Kindle' and 'Google Play Books' are fantastic for this. Kindle, for instance, automatically saves your last read page across all devices, whether you switch from your phone to a tablet or an e-reader.
Another great option is 'Libby' by OverDrive, which syncs progress for library books borrowed digitally. It’s incredibly handy for avid readers who borrow books frequently. 'Kobo' also offers syncing, though it sometimes requires manual updates. The key is ensuring you’re logged into the same account across devices. Some apps even sync highlights and notes, making it easier to pick up where you left off without missing a beat.
I can confidently say that many modern reader library apps do offer syncing across devices. Apps like 'Kindle,' 'Google Play Books,' and 'Apple Books' have seamless synchronization features. I love how 'Kindle' remembers my last read page, highlights, and even notes, no matter if I switch from my phone to my tablet or e-reader. The syncing is almost instantaneous, which is a lifesaver for someone who reads in short bursts throughout the day.
Some apps even allow offline reading with progress syncing once you reconnect to the internet. 'Google Play Books' is particularly good at this—I’ve started a book on my laptop during a commute, continued on my phone during lunch, and picked up right where I left off on my tablet at home. The only downside is that not all apps support this feature equally, so it’s worth checking the app’s settings or reviews before committing. For avid readers like me, this feature is non-negotiable.
