It's dead easy to keep same content on all with Calibre.
A "cloud" sync needs two slow Internet operations.
I can remember a few words of last read use search faster than WiFi (or mobile data, which I rarely have). Two of my more portable ereaders are USB only, no WiFi.

The vendors hype sync because it gives them info. Really you don't need it.

Also if you only use Kobo, Calibre can sync when you add content via USB (Kobo Utilities).

But I had no difficulty using AZw3 on PW3 and epub on Bluefire on the phone.

However I think page numbers are worthless on ebooks except on textbooks to find page nn referenced by a tutorial based on a particular paper edition.

So sync is more valuable than page numbers, though not as important as people think.
