Post Best method to sync annotations of epub files seamlessly across Windows & Android?
The title says it all, what's the best method as of now to seamlessly synchronize annotations & notes across Windows & Android? Would like a setup that requires the least number of manual steps to achieve my goal.

I don't think there is one. Your best bet would be dropbox or Google Drive to save across devices.
Just remember you have to have sync turned on and turn on the wireless for changes to take effect.

annotations in epub & mobi files cannot be synchronized using just dropbox or google drive since annotations are stored separately from the file unlike pdf.

What does that have to do with the ability to sync the annotation file to dropbox? Moon+ allows that on android. Not sure what program or app you would need in Windows to do the same.

There are two ways to do this:
  • Use the same app everywhere and make sure you use one that syncs the books and annotations.
  • Open the book in whichever application/device you have already made the annotations. Open the book in the other and manually copy the annotations.

And no, I am not joking.
