I would need an add-on which does this for me but I do not know anything about calibre add-on neither 
Could that be possible? |
There are two problem with syncing reading positions. Once is copying them from one place to another. For that you need some process somewhere that will read one storage and copy it to the other place.
The other problem is the format of the reading position. There is no standard. Each device or app does it in their own way. And each format is different. Converting the reading position for one book format to another is something I don't even want to consider.
There are some possibilities. Copying the reading position between like devices is probably possible. I have a plugin that will do this for Kobo devices. And devices/apps that use the Adobe RMSDK probably use similar methods and it might be possible to convert between them if the reading position can be accessed. I'm pretty sure I could convert the reading position between an epub on a Kobo and a Sony device. But, that's from looking at the database and not actually trying. And I have tested converting to the format that calibre uses in the viewer, and I got pretty close (one of us can't count, probably me). When the viewer gets annotations support, I'll probably revisit this. I haven't looked at what the the calibre server does, but I suspect it is in a place that isn't easily reachable.
It sounds easy. But, there are enough issues that each time I look at it, I just shake my head and back away.
