This is my "Obsessive" icon. I've been playing an iThing game (also available for Android) called "Trainyard." There's a free version (Trainyard Express). Both contain hours worth of puzzles and tutorials that make it easy to learn. You can also post your solutions on the web.

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?

A mysterious stranger sent me a cool Totoro i-Thing pouch all the way from Thailand. See!

I am the somewhat dubious owner of a new iPod Touch. Where should I go to get recommendations about apps? The App Store is overwhelming.
