I always have my current book on my phone. I do most of my reading on a Kindle or a Kobo and on the phone I use Moon+ to read the same books. I've found that manually syncing them isn't much different than using Whispersync with the Kindle app. I just make sure I remember which chapter I'm in at the end of each reading session and that I remember a phrase on the page I'm on and finding that on the other device is trivial. It's almost as fast as automatic syncing.

Now and then I'll forget or fail to note a chapter number and/or phrase so I have to figure it out. That doesn't happen that often but when it does it's still not that hard to find my place.

I read paperback books before I began reading ebooks and I nearly always carried my current book in my hip pocket. I never bothered with bookmarks. I just closed the book at the end of the session and looked for my place when I started reading again. With paperbacks they tended to open to the last page read anyway but sitting on the book with it in my hip pocket often changed that and I had to find it. It's not much different with ebooks.
