Funny Thing, I just configured this very thing today...
Here's what I did: configured a dropbox account. From there, downloaded Readdle and synced with the dropbox account that I just created. Voila, Things I posted to my dropbox automatically sync with Readdle (Readdle also supports Google Docs). I'll be honest, It was the simplest setup... Readdle allows the usage of notes/highlighting text/etc... As for Provisioning, I haven't decided what to do with that yet. Goodluck!
