I would think my question is a common one, one that could be found in a FAQ or any number of stickies. But I've been searching for more than an hour and have not found what I'm looking for.

I need advice about a system for syncing non-DRM side-loaded books between multiple devices, two of them android, plus PCs. I need highlighting and notes to sync between the devices. Ideally, it would also sync the latest page read or bookmarks so I could pick up where I left off after switching devices.

I am comfortable converting formats in calibre, and basically need to know to which format I should convert before starting my synchronized reading, highlighting and note taking.

I know this can be done in pdf, and bought a copy of Android Repligo in order to do this when my source document is already pdf. But is pdf really the best option when I could start with any format?

What led me to this quest is this: I have a few books in mobi format that I side-loaded on my kindle. They contain highlights and notes. Now I want to move to my android devices. I know I can look at my clippings.txt file, but there they are notated by Location, and it doesn't seem that Location remains the same across different devices. I am OK manually adding these notes and highlights for these few books, but would prefer to not have to do this again in the future.

Again, many apologies if this has been asked and answered before. I did look, but have not found a good answer.

Thanks in advance.
