I use my Sage and Libra 2 this way - the same books are on both (I don't use the Reading List plugin, just a tag to mark which books are on my Kobos). As I don't connect my readers to my PC very often, I just try to remember where I left off, mostly successfully.
Another way to sync reading progress (via wifi) is supposed to be Koblime:

I haven't used it myself, although I plan to try it someday, so I have no idea how well it works. |
Yes, if I'm just reading one book it's easier to just note a phrase or finish a chapter. I do sometime read several books at once, so was looking for a more automated solution.
It's easy for me to connect to my computer so a method involving a cable is easy.
Koblime appears to be designed for this type of thing, but I'd rather not give a third party access to my devices. I see they intend to release a manual sync method, so that may overcome my privacy concerns. The entire project looks interesting but seems a work in progress.
