MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - eBooks, Studies and Research- Do you have a "system"?

Background:
I'm a preacher and over 90% of my eBook/eDevice use is for research and study. My books are also mostly public domain works, a lot of (scanned) books from the 1700's, 1800's from sources like books.google.com

My needs are to be able to read, study, and mark a book (annotations,highlights, etc) having it available (synced) on both desktop computers and eDevice. The marks (notes, annotations, bookmarks, highlights, etc) need travel with the book when synced.

I'm using an iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPod Touch using mostly Calibre and Stanza, but I don't want to limit the discussion to those items

For Discussion:
If you do study/research and markup of books, what "tools" (hardware and software) are you using, and how are you syncing everything from desktop to reader? (Including your notes and markup.)

"Thanks" goes to all contributors of this thread!
