I'm looking for an eReader for my wife, who currently reads mainly DRM-free ePubs on her Pixel phone (using Play Books). She would like to have a dedicated eReader for "planned" reading, but would like one that remembers her place in the book when she switches between devices - both from phone to eReader and eReader to phone. So she can use the phone for ad hoc reading when she doesn't have the eReader with her, and can switch back to the eReader when it's available - without losing her place in the book.
The obvious solution is a Kindle (which I guess would require converting each ePub to Mobi format), but my question is: do Kindle eReaders reliably sync reading posiition (furthest read?) in both directions with the Kindle app on Android phones?
If not, can anyone recommend a better solution for this problem?
