So, a year and a half after starting this thread... iBooks for Mac! I finally have a solution for what Kindle, Sony, Google Play, Kobo, Nook, and every other product on the market failed to do: sync bookmarks, highlights, and reading position between my laptop and reader devices, for 3rd-party non-DRM ebooks.
After installing the new (and free!) OS X Mavericks, I can now sync with my iPhone - you don't even need iOS 7, it works with my 3GS that's left behind on iOS 6. I've only played with it for a few minutes, but so far it looks like it will be worth the wait! Thanks Apple. I'll be selling my Kindle and putting the money towards a new iPad mini with retina. I'll miss the e-ink screen - but not that much... the ability to actually read my book when I get on the subway, instead of flipping around for ten minutes trying to figure out where I left off, more than makes up for it.
