So this works as long as I configure calibre_web as sync server. Pro: Everything is in sync, but I have to make sure that I don't add Kobo books to my calibre_web database, otherwise I have duplicate books. This also only works at home, otherwise I'd have to expose calibre_web to the internet.

All of it makes sense, as you need a koreader sync server anyway.

Question:
How granular is the reading position synched? Is it by percentage or by paragraph? The reason I'm asking is, if you read longer books, like The Stand, then percentage is pretty much useless for determining a reading position.
