Well...that's all well and good, but without knowing which "other apps" they're talking about, nobody can help you. In terms of physical devices,
only iBooks has a viable read-along functionality, which, IIRC, is emulated in KoboBooks, in the higher-end devices. Nooks don't do this, nor do Kindles, Sony, et al.
So, by "other apps" do they mean, say, Readium, or Aazardi? Or...? Readalong functionality isn't some built-in thing, that works everywhere. It's device and app-specific, and you have to know what type of scripting is available to you, in order to write code that will work.
Speaking bluntly, this sounds like a case for client education. And with all due respect, you don't seem to be up to speed on the world of eReaders, either, if you're even entertaining this idea from them, or haven't already explained to them that they went through all this, paid all this, for "readalong" functionality that pretty much only exists in a single place.
