In order to be able to read the books on different devices, it would be ideal to store them in the cloud, like on Dropbox or Google drive.



For sharing the books afterwards, ideally I want to give them to that other person on an USB stick (or as a shared cloud folder), and I want the person to be able to read those books (including my highlights and comments) as easy as possible.



Therefore, it should be possible for the other person to open the USB stick (or the shared cloud folder), see that list of books, double-click on any of the book's names, and then be presented with the book including all highlights and comments ready to read.



Which eBook format would be the best to use for that scenario, and what would be the best software to read and annotate those books on Android (potentially as well on Windows)?



Thanks heaps already for tips



Cheers

epub, as it is universal and not proprietary like azw3, mobi, or ibooks
