It’s a trust test. I’ll download a free app, read a chapter on my phone, then immediately check my iPad. If my spot’s there, the app earns a permanent home screen spot. If not, deleted. It’s that simple for me.

It’s not just about the last page, either. I need my highlights and notes to follow me. Apps like Apple Books get this perfectly—it’s all part of the iCloud ecosystem. But many free third-party apps treat annotations as local-only, which is a dealbreaker for serious reading.

I’ve had terrible luck with this. Sometimes the sync is slow or fails silently. I’ll think everything’s updated, then open my iPad to find I’m twenty chapters behind. Makes me just stick to one device per book now, which is honestly a bit sad.

Meh, I’ve given up. I just pick a 'main' device for each app. Phone for one reader, iPad for another. It’s not elegant, but it avoids the heartbreak of lost progress. Syncing should be a basic feature, not a luxury.

I’m just waiting for someone to make a 'Readwise for free books'—a central dashboard that tracks your progress across all reading apps. That’s the dream. Until then, we’re at the mercy of each developer.

Which free reading apps for iPhone sync books across devices?

The iBooks Author format (.iba) is a thing, but nobody uses it. Moving on.

How do free book apps compare for syncing ebooks across devices?

The sync speed is a subtle differentiator. On a paid service, when you turn on a new device and open the app, your entire library and latest positions appear within seconds. On a free app, it might take minutes to populate, or it might load the covers but hang on fetching the progress. That waiting time, especially when you're eager to jump back into a book, creates friction. It makes the app feel cheap and unreliable. In a world of instant gratification, a slow sync can be enough to make me abandon an app entirely, even if the core reading features are good.

Project Gutenberg has over 70,000 free ebooks, but their official app doesn't sync your library or progress. It's just a portal. Many people download from Gutenberg and then import the file into a syncing ecosystem. That's the two-step process. There's a newer app called 'Serial Reader' that delivers classic public domain books in short, daily serialized chunks. It's a fantastic concept, and it syncs your subscription list and which day you're on across iOS devices via iCloud. It's not syncing a full library of arbitrary books, but for its specific purpose, it works seamlessly. It’s a good example of a free, niche app that built sync in by design. For a more general solution, the app 'Pocket' can be used for reading articles and long-form web content, and it syncs perfectly. Some people save web novels or fic to Pocket. It's not a book app per se, but it handles progression sync for text you save from the web, which overlaps with the need.

How do library integrations work inside a free books reading app?

It's magic. No, really, it feels like magic. One minute you're putting a hold on a new bestseller, the next week you get a push notification that it's ready, and you tap to download. The integration is so seamless in apps like Libby that you forget you're not just buying from a store. The audiobook player is decent, the ebook reader is fine. My only gripe is that sometimes, if your internet is spotty, returning a book early can be a hassle. But for bringing the library to my phone, it's a game-changer. I haven't paid for an audiobook in years.

What free books app for iPhone syncs reading across devices?

it works just as well between iOS devices. You can buy books from Kobo or load EPUBs via Adobe Digital Editions, and your place follows you. The app's reading interface is clean and pleasant. It's a strong alternative if you prefer not to feed the Amazon machine and want a bookstore that isn't tied to a specific hardware ecosystem like Apple's.
