I suffer from the same issue. I use KOReader, which does do sync, but uses its own zsync protocol, which basically nothing else supports. I use Kybook 2 on my iPad. I think Calibre supports syncing with Kybook 3, so you could try that. If you really want highlight syncing etc, it might be worth migrating to a Kindle-first workflow? But PDFs aren't there. Why is this so hard :( Why can't everything use a standard progress sync protocol? (KOReader's is at https://github.com/koreader/koreader-sync-server https://github.com/koreader/koreader-sync-server)

> If you really want highlight syncing etc, it might be worth migrating to a Kindle-first workflow? But PDFs aren't there. Kindle syncs PDFs. You have to email them to your kindle email address, but they work out of the "Documents" section. And they sync as well. As far as I can tell, anyway. I don't really do any highlighting, but the docs are available.

  Real world PDFs are mostly unreadable on eInk kindles. The screen size doesn’t work for most 2 column PDFs. It is fairly painful. KOreader fixes some of it, but you lose the highlight sync.

    I guess I've just never tried to read a 2-column paper on there now that you mention it. Single columns have worked great, though—if you don't rely on colour, of course.

Could you take BookFusion for a spin and let me know what you think? BookFusion allows you to upload and manage your eBook collection across Android, iOS and Desktops. All your eBooks, bookmarks, highlights, notes and reading progress are always synced across all devices.

There are a few gaps but a brand new and refreshed platform is being launched in Q3 2020

  Looks interesting, will try it out thanks. Right now, I support sharing via my own Ubooquity/elibsrv servers which run OPDS as well. OPDS works well with Kybook, which is what I run currently on iOS. Unless this supports an OPDS server, I don't see myself using this long term, though. OPDS on Kindle (with KOReader) makes my life so much simpler (I can browse my entire collection on the Kindle).
