MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - iPad Possibility to sync bookmarks through side loaded ePubs (Any iOS software?)

I've tested and iBooks might sync, but only for iBooks purchased through the app store. Kindle from the Kindle store and Kobo from the Kobo store. This is all fine and good but I've purchased books from elsewhere and I want to find a way to sync bookmarks for non-drm items.

So the issue I'm running into doesn't relate to a problem with the software itself, but the fact that the syncing only works on the software if the book was purchased from that software's store.

I REALLY am leaning toward the Kobo reader, the social sharing is really cool and isn't matched in any other app. But the problem is the books I want are $19 on the Kindle versus $30 on the Kobo store. Is the $10 difference worth it? That's where I'm struggling. I kind of think it is.
