I'm just waiting for someone to invent an open protocol for this. Imagine if every e-reader app could read a small '.readingprogress' file from your Dropbox. Any app could write to it. You could switch apps whenever you wanted without losing your place. It would break the vendor lock-in and let you choose the best reader for each device. A person can dream, right?

Does anyone else feel like they spend more time setting up the perfect sync system than actually reading? I've cycled through Moon+, ReadEra, Google Play Books, and a Calibre server. I had everything working beautifully once, then I changed my Google password and broke the Moon+ sync. I spent an evening fixing it. The pursuit of the perfect system can be its own hobby, separate from the joy of reading itself.

I tried quite a few and settled on Bluefire Reader. It's straightforward and free. You can load books via Adobe DRM, side-loaded EPUB, or from cloud storage. Its sync feature for reading positions across iOS and Android uses its own server, and in my experience, it's been prompt. It might not have the bells and whistles of a full-fledged library manager, but for pure reading and sync, it's excellent. It also has great annotation tools that sync, which is a bonus for students or anyone who takes lots of notes.

Remember when Marvin was the hot iOS app for this? It had amazing custom sync. Then the developer disappeared. That's the risk with small, independent apps. I now lean towards apps that use a sync method I can control (my own cloud) or are backed by a large platform.

Here's a curveball: Goodreads. Okay, it's not a reading app per se, but if you diligently update your 'currently reading' progress on the Goodreads website or app, you have a cross-platform, device-agnostic record of your page number. I know several people who use this as a manual, social sync method. It's clunky, but it works on any device with a browser. It's more of a lifehack for tracking than true app sync, but in a pinch, or for books you're reading in multiple formats (library physical copy, personal ebook), it's a universally accessible solution.

Has anyone compared the actual speed? I did an unscientific test between Kindle, Google Play Books, and Apple Books on the same Wi-Fi. I'd read a page, immediately force-quit the app, open it on another device. Kindle was consistently fastest, updating within 2-3 seconds. Google Play took 5-10 seconds. Apple Books was instant between my iPhone and iPad but obviously doesn't work outside that. For the impatient, those seconds matter!

One subtle benefit of reliable sync is that it encourages 'opportunistic reading.' Waiting in line? Pull out your phone, read a page or two. Later, at home, continue on a bigger screen. Without sync, you'd likely just check social media instead because the friction of finding your place is too high. A good sync feature turns all your idle moments into potential reading sessions. It fundamentally increases your reading volume by lowering the activation energy required to start.

Can best apps to read books for free offline sync across devices?

I swear by 'Libby' for offline reading. It syncs seamlessly across devices when you reconnect, and it's tied to your local library card, so you get access to tons of free books legally. The interface is clean, and bookmarks/highlights sync once you go online. Another solid option is 'Google Play Books'. Upload your EPUBs or PDFs, download for offline use, and your progress syncs across Android, iOS, and web. It's perfect for personal document collections. For manga/comics, 'Tachiyomi' (Android-only) lets you download chapters and sync reading progress via third-party trackers like AniList. The offline-first approach makes it ideal for commuters.

If you're reading fanfiction, the FanFiction.Net app has a decent sync feature for your favorites and reading history across devices. It's platform-specific, of course, but for those deep in a particular fandom, it's a lifesaver to not lose your place in a 200-chapter epic.
