Hi,

Currently I have a Kindle 3 and to me the killer feature of that device is the Whispersync which lets me continue to read on my Android phone. However I am not too happy with the rest of the Amazon package and I am looking for a new reader.

If it is possible I would like to set up a solution where my own Calibre server tracks progress and syncs both the books and their progress between all my devices.

Is this possible and which components should I use?

That is not a facility that Calibre provides.

I think calibre will provide that eventually as the program continues to evolve IMO by leaps and bounds.

Still while whispersync rocks finding your last place manually is no harder than with a paper book when the bookmark has fallen out or for people like me who never used bookmarks. Maybe easier with search.

Or one could go right crazy and sync manually before leaving home.
