BAKICIDW/LJ: ebook reader app advice

[firecat]

So here's what I want.
An ebook reader app.

• It works on both the iPod/iPad and Android smartphone.
• It stores books and bookmarks in the cloud so when I open the book on a different device, it remembers where I was.
• It also stores books and bookmarks locally so I don't need to have wireless access to use it.
• It lets me upload and store DRMed and non-DRMed epub format books.

Here's where my research has gotten me so far. These apps meet all the criteria except the one listed.

• Bluefire: Doesn't store bookmark data online.
• Google Books: Can't upload your own books, as far as I know.
• Kobo: Stores bookmark data online for books you get through its store, but not for books you upload.

Do you know any apps that fit all the criteria?

nook? I have it on a nook color, and a xoom, and it appears to do those things. You have to push the "synch library" button and remember to actually download the stuff you want. Or doesn't it work on IOS. It's a little weird about the stuff I get from gutenberg, but not terminally so.

I can't figure out how to load my own books into it.

But the thing that really offends me is that B&N requires you to download a different app in order to read children's books.

Once you download the files, you have to move them into the B&N directory structure, but there's a place ("My Files" iirc) for them.

And the children's book thing I kinda understand, because they have some kind of enhanced format for kid/toddler books that has sound and turns its own pages and so forth. (I don't really think that giving a spensivish electronic device to a kid who still chews on pages is a particularly good idea, but I'm glad that isn't part of the regular functions. Also, they probably have to do something to prevent data collection/sharing by the under-13s or run into federal law...)
