Ubooquity does this if you use the web reader across multiple devices, not sure about any third party apps or e-reader integration though.
Comment on eReaders for Selfhosted book collections

Bouncing off of this, what e-book server exists that a clients sync progress back to the server (i.e. Amazon’s whispersync)?
I primarily read on one device, but occasionally I pull up my phone when I don’t have my e-reader and it’s really handy to have to progress always up to date.

I use Kavita for my comic book collection, and recently added some books into it as well. Syncs well across devices. I don’t really read books as I have so much time to listen to them instead but I can’t see why it wouldn’t work for someone who does.

I understand that Kavita only offers reading through a web interface, so it would make sense that reading progress is synchronized since you are always reading directly from the server.
What I’m referring to is a client and server that synchronizes offline reading progress (When a connection can be made), especially one that works on an e-reader device.

As there are currently bo other suggestions: I know that Audiobookshelf has support for non-audio books as well and it will sync progress. I have not used this functionality and don’t know how good it works for ebooks.
