I have a different priority: font and typesetting control. So I use 'Thorium' on my PC and 'KOReader' on my e-ink device. They don't sync with each other. I accept that. I manually keep my place. The superior reading experience on each device is worth the minor inconvenience. My advice is to rank your needs: is seamless sync the #1 priority, or is it reading comfort? You might not find a single app that excels at both. Be prepared to compromise on one end of the spectrum.

The real hidden gem is 'Icecream Ebook Reader' for Windows. It has a clean, modern interface and allows you to organize your library into collections. While it doesn't have a dedicated mobile app, it can sync your library and reading progress via Dropbox. You set up a shared folder, and it uses that to keep your data in sync across multiple Windows installations. It's a solid, ad-free option if your primary need is syncing between desktop or laptop computers. For adding a phone into the mix, you'd need to supplement it with another app, but for PC-only sync, it's excellent.

For strictly PC-to-PC sync (like a desktop and a laptop), Windows has a feature called 'Roaming App Data' for some apps, but few reading apps use it. A more reliable method is to use a portable version of your preferred reader (like Sumatra PDF portable) stored in a Dropbox folder. Run it from Dropbox on both PCs. The app's settings and, sometimes, recent file lists and positions are stored right there in the same cloud folder. It's a clever hack that makes the app itself sync along with your books. Requires finding or making a portable app version, though.

Honestly, the Kindle app for PC is still the most seamless for me, even with sideloaded books. You just email the document to your Kindle Send-to-Kindle address, and it appears in your library across every device logged into your Amazon account. Reading progress, highlights, and notes sync automatically. It's free, and the Whispersync tech is genuinely reliable. The catch is you're locked into Amazon's ecosystem and their AZW3/KFX formats for the best experience, but for EPUBs you email now, they convert them. It's not ideal for DRM-free purists, but for effortless cross-device sync, it's hard to beat. The PC app itself is a bit basic, but it gets the job done.

For public domain classics, the Standard Ebooks project is amazing. They make beautifully formatted, free EPUBs. If you download one and put it in Google Play Books, you now have a gorgeous, synced copy of 'Pride and Prejudice' or 'Dracula' on all your devices. It's a fantastic combination of high-quality, free content and a free, syncing reading platform. Makes diving into the classics incredibly easy and pleasant.

Which free book reader app syncs ebooks across all devices?

I'm just sitting here waiting for someone to mention the one perfect app that does everything. So far, every suggestion has a 'but...' attached. I guess that's just the state of things. There's no unicorn. You pick the app whose strengths match your priorities and whose weaknesses you can tolerate. For me, that's been Moon+ Reader with Drive sync. The 'but...' is the slightly dated UI, which I don't mind at all.

How to sync ebooks between devices using an ebook reader on pc?

tablet, and phone, syncing ebooks seamlessly is a must. Most ebook readers like 'Calibre' or 'Kindle' offer cloud sync features. For 'Kindle', just log into the same Amazon account on all devices, and your library syncs automatically. With 'Calibre', you can use its content server to access books from any device on the same network. For non-Kindle users, apps like 'Google Play Books' or 'Kobo' let you upload your ebooks to their cloud, so you can pick up where you left off. Dropbox or OneDrive are great alternatives—just save your ebooks in a shared folder and open them with your preferred reader app. Always ensure your files are in compatible formats like EPUB or PDF for smooth cross-device reading.

Can I sync books across devices with a free ereader app?

I've been using free e-reader apps for years, and syncing books across devices is totally possible with the right setup. Apps like 'Moon+ Reader' and 'FBReader' let you sync your progress and library as long as you use the same account on all devices. I love how seamless it feels to switch from my phone to my tablet without losing my place. Some apps even support cloud storage like Google Drive or Dropbox for manual syncing if you don't want to rely on their built-in systems. The key is to check the app's settings and enable syncing features—most free apps have limitations, but the core functionality works great.

Which free book reading app syncs progress across devices?

I wish Goodreads would properly integrate with Kindle or other apps to auto-sync progress. The manual update is a chore. Imagine finishing a chapter on your Kindle and having your Goodreads status auto-update. That's the dream. The technology is obviously there; it's a business deal problem. Until then, our progress exists in separate silos: one for reading, one for social.

Is there an epub reader on pc that syncs with mobile?

6 Answers2025-08-02 21:57:16
I've tried several epub readers that sync seamlessly across devices. My absolute favorite is 'Calibre', not just because it's free and open-source, but because it has a companion app called 'Calibre Companion' for mobile. It lets you sync your entire library, bookmarks, and even reading progress between devices effortlessly. Another great option is 'Moon+ Reader Pro' on Android paired with 'AlReader' on PC. While they aren't officially linked, using Dropbox or Google Drive to sync epubs works like a charm. For a more polished experience, 'FBReader' with its cloud sync feature is fantastic—just log in on both devices, and your books and progress follow you. The key is finding one that fits your workflow, whether it's through direct sync or cloud storage intermediaries.
