Can anyone recommend a good one?

I’d like one that can kinda “save” my progress not only locally. Maybe an app account or something that integrates with a cloud service?

I had an ancient one very early in my smartphone days, but as I lost/had my phone stolen I would lose all my progress and miss the pages of the books I was reading.

    I bought Moon Reader Pro a million years ago cheep on sale, and it has been great. Still love it, but I like to check out open source readers every once in a while.

    Lately I have been using Librera FD. This open source version on f-droid unfortunately has the network features (sync/opds) disabled. The play store version has those enabled. The interface is a bit unusual, but it’s a powerful and flexible reader.

    On f-droid, KOReader is the absolute best. It’s got every feature you can imagine which can be overwhelming but empowering. It has a couple of littlebugss here and there but if you’re wanting FOSS and a feature rich reader you can’t beat it.

    Cloud account? Probably not an option with most FOSS tools. I suppose you can syncthing the koreader directory which is where save state and other stuff is located.

    I use KOReader and it has a built in page syncing. You register within the app and save the positions; then you login on another device, copy the same file (for example I use the built in cloud connection to access Nextcloid/Dropbox and download the book) open the same file and it is synced.

    Librera has a Dropbox integration (possibly in the pro version) and it may sync. But I never used such features since I prefer KOReader on ereader.

    Not FOSS, but Lithium on the play store has what you need and the app is free of tracking and ads.

    I find open-source apps in this department to be still lacking.

      It is not possible to make free open source app without tracking to save in the cloud.

      “Book Reader” from f-droid has “sync folder” option, but I never tested it. I guess of you sync that folder with some other app (like syncthing, or google drive) you can have it in other places.

    Aldiko saves your progress in epubs you are reading. I use Calibre to organize various collections.

    Haven’t seen one that uses a cloud service.
