I use Yomu across my devices and it works great. I'll use highlighting for when switching between phone and ipad especially in between chapters. The formatting difference keeps me where I left off with the highlighting. It is $8 one time purchase.
It looks good but it is not available for Linux/Windows or as a web app.
i havnt tried it but librera on android has a sync option that uses google drive

i think it only does highlighting in pdfs though.
for other things like epubs, you can select text and then bookmark it, you can add in your own notes to the text, but they are mainly used for navigation. when you add a bookmark first, the text is visually highlighted but it goes away as soon as you scroll and i dont know if theres a setting to keep it highlighted
It is good but it doesn’t have an iOS app.
