I have a huge collection of books and would like to be able to sync them all accross the board. For example if i have a book on the iphone kobo reader app, then i should be able to sync my reading to my touch if the touch has the same book on it.

I think the lightest way they could possibly do this is to have some kind of DB consisting of fields filename and percentage in the book. If you have multiple versions of an ebook then each would have an entry. The percentage completion would be easiest to use since each synced device may have different font, margin, spacing settings. With this scheme you don't have to have a copy of every single ebook file up at kobo.com. It may not be accurate but it should be close to where you were reading.. On the other hand it may also depend on how many decimal places they put on that percentage field.
