I abandoned CC a while ago as it was constantly stuck. I found the solution in connecting my reader app to onedrive, but it's till a tedious job when reading fanfiction since new chapters are not uploaded into the reader app right away. I'm suspecting CS will have the same issue as it will sync the app, but you would still have to manually download the book again which I assume will lead to loss of read status. I've recently started testing Calibre's Plug-in Bookfusion (free version) which is a sync and reader in one directly from Calibre. Which works quite easy. the 2 issues I have though are that it does not sync back the read status, and you can only use 1 custom column which it uses to create bookshelves. Which is fine within the free version which allows 25 books only. But imagine syncing 40k+ into the paid version, you would not know where to begin finding a book you'd want to start reading. I know it's not an option, but they should combine their efforts if together they would add a sync back read status and time it would be one hell of an app.

CS +:
One time purchase (per platform, I use both Android and Apple devices);
Extensive search on custom column tags
CS -:
No sync back on read status/time;
no sync back; no built in reader
CS?:
How would one go about keeping track of which story you're reading across devices?
Will it work when a library contains over 40k+ books?

BF +:
Built in reader;
Sync read status across any device or web server;
I decide which books to sync from Calibre, which means I do not have to worry about it getting stuck on the size;
I re-upload FanFiction that have a new chapters while still keeping my read status;
BF -:
Monthly fee;
Minimal/no custom column tag search;
No sync back on read status/time;
Slow(er) response from developers on issues

What would you do and why?
