There is a #marketNeed for a way to #sync #reading progress between #e-ink #e-readers and #mobile apps (why not add computers into the mix too?) combined with good usability and ability to 100% own and control your #ebooks. Also one they doesn't rely solely on proprietary, corporate-owned cloud services like #GoogleCloud or #DropBox.
As a user, I should be able to pick up where I left off reading no matter which hardware I am using or last used. I should be able to host all of the needed services (as far as storage goes) myself. I should own my #books and be able to have them in any of the popular formats like epub, mobile, or PDF. I should NOT have to go through pain and suffering to do this (*eyes koreader*).
#Kindle let's you sync but you do not own the #books
#Kobo will not let you sync unless you buy the books from them (and do you own them or just renting it from them like on kindle?)
#Readera and other #ereaders apps I've found: no ereader support. Relies on google cloud.
#Calibre: can't really sync progress.
#Koreader: HORRIBLE usability. Pretty much useless (at least on Android can't see 90% of my epubs (which I exported with calibre)
Are you a #softwareDeveloper or #appDevelpoer will solve this #problem? Please do. Because if you don't, I might eventually)
