Sorry. Poor choice of words. This is what I should have written instead: "Hyphen uses iCloud to sync and doesn't require you to register with the developer (or Adobe) for full functionality."
I know cedhax thinks MapleRead is the best, and it's great that s/he's found the best ereading app for him/her. For anyone interested in Hyphen 1.2, these are a few of the reasons I'm so delighted with it:
I store my ebook library on Dropbox. When I want to read a book, I transfer it from Dropbox to Hyphen using "Open in ..." Once it's transferred to one iDevice, it appears in my Hyphen library on all my devices as an icon with a download button. One tap, and the book downloads into Hyphen and opens. No need to go back to Dropbox or iTunes or Calibre server, or any other external source a second time.
When Hyphen syncs, it syncs current reading location, bookmarks, annotations, and library. My annotations are simple, but I do highlight short passages and make simple notes regularly, and so far the syncing works fine for that.
Hyphen syncs using iCloud and does not require you to register with the developer or Adobe. I like this because I already have an iCloud account, which I use for multiple apps, so I don't need to register for anything new. Also, Apple already knows more about me than my mother does, so adding my reading habits is a drop in the bucket.
Hyphen isn't for everyone, but it's the best for me
YMMV
