Yes, within the ecosystem of an ereader, the reading positions transfer. My utilities plugin does it for sideloaded books on Kobo's via calibre. I know I could do a similar thing for Sony and someone is porting my Kobo Utilities plugin and plans to include this. I'm pretty sure I could move the reading positions between epubs on Kobo and Sony. ADE should be possible as well, but I don't think it's work the hassle. These all use the same method to store the position. Other RMSDK readers should be possible as they probably use the same thing, but it depends on exactly where they store the position. The calibre viewer uses a different method, but the translation is easy. I have done some manual translations that proved the theory, but haven't looked at automating it. When the viewer supports annotations, I'll be looking at this properly.
Cool! I cannot wait to see the result.

Hmm, feeling almost left out on my Kindle... Someday I want to see syncing of all kinds of annotations across everywhere. For that reason alone I would like to see one universal ebook format standard.
