Several reader apps such as Moon+ have the ability to sync where you are in a book between multiple devices. They usually do this using a cloud provider such as Dropbox, storing the position in a small file in the cloud.

One problem: the book must have the same file name on every device for syncing to succeed. This can be problematic when using CC because by default the file name used for wireless device, content server, and cloud connections can be different. To solve this problem, see the answer How can I use the same file name for all three connection types?
