Exactly. If it's only unique for one app / platform it's somewhat useless to say the least.
That would be the first step, figuring out what to use to get an id that can be used across multiple platforms.
There are other challenges though, for example, how to specify the position in the book? the chapter level, yes, that could be done simply by just getting the path to the current file being read, but what about the position in that file. I know what is done for downloaded books, but that's part of the processing when the book is added to the system, and so it's not something the app / device does, so how to go about doing that?
