Question Synchronizing between e-reader and an android phone

I want to buy my first e-reader, and like few other users I'm between sony 650 and kindle 3, but I think I finally decided what will be the most important feature to me. I want to be able to read the same book on both dedicated reader, and my android phone.

I'm able to live with manual uploading of the book to both devices, but I need to keep track of reading progress somehow.

I tried few readers on the droid already (aldiko, wordplayer, kindle) and I noticed that there's no consistent way of keeping track on what page of the book I'm at the moment. Depending on the font and screen size, number of pages changes.

Kindle whisper-net would be best, but it only works with book purchased at amazon right?

Is there some easy way of getting absolute location in the book that would be consistent between either kindle / sony and a reader in the droid?

Side question. How does drm work in Borders / Sony bookstore? Is the book locked to just one device when purchased / first opened, or can I upload it to multiple devices without striping the drm?

I know that whisper-net for strictly amazon books is perfect here, but how is this done on sony readers?

Thanks for help,
Voytek
