hey, I actually was working on something similar ( forking from https://github.com/satorumurmur/bibi which is an open source epub reader ), but my objective was to allow

a) To save books in some place online like s3 or gdrive etc.

b) Allowing to use the "bookmark" feature across sessions.

My use case is that sometimes I am reading a EPUB and I have it in my tablet, but sometimes I have my computer, and othertimes I have my phone. Currently I have to download it 3 times to read it and remember the bookmark.

How far did you make it with this? S3 is tricky because they don't offer OAuth so the user basically has to generate an IAM user and access keys and paste them into your app. I'm currently exploring solutions to this problem.

Right, I only got to that, I entered my s3 keys manually. I think for a smoother experience I would use Google Drive, which provides OAuth access AFAIK.
