Describe the feature/enhancement

Hello. You have created a nice app. Thanks. I would like to suggest awesome features.

~1)It will be cool if you app could combine listening and reading ebooks.(to have pdf, epub readers like in Kavita and CalibreWeb.) And while you are reading an ebook - the audio player should be on the top. It is useful for learning languages when you can listening and reading an ebook at the same time, and click pause/play don’t switching contexts~ 2) the next feature is ability to make annotations in pdf, epub, like highlighting, underscoring etc. Thanks

Item 1 is possible -- refer to my last picture in #916. I think Item 2 is duplicated elsewhere but can't find it. Just noting this appears to be an app request -- refer to https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/ for these. @advplyr possibly closable, I'm happy to put together a checklist that collects all the e-reader related requests if that would be helpful

Yeah item 1 is already available. Highlighting and annotations in epub is something we can do if we stay with using epubjs.

advplyr commented 7 months ago

It would be helpful if we found all the ebook related inquiries and labeled them as ebooks then we can filter for that in the issues page

Just a quick link to https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/1709 which seems to relate to this issue.

Would also love to see the possibility to highlight text in EPUBs/PDFs. Would be an easier way to find the place you left reading.
