Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Currently send to ereader only supports via email. However, Kobo ereaders don't support this option to import books. It would be great to have a seamless way to sync ebooks with Kobo ereaders.

Why would this be helpful?

For users who have Kobo readers and want a non-cable way to sync their books to their readers to read on the go.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Similar to Kobo Sync implemented in Calibre-web, it would be great to create a shelf or tag where relevant books are then synced automatically to Kobo readers.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.13.4

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

No response

The best way to show support for a feature request is by reacting with a "Thumbs up" to the initial message of the issue instead of just saying +1 or I also want this. When looking for new features, issues are sorted by the number of thumbs up reactions, not the number of notifications that an issue generated.

When looking into ways to sync my Kobo device with my eBook library, I learned that the Kobo can sync with a Calibre Web library. You check the box "Kobo sync" in Calibre Web and add the API endpoint to the Kobo device. More details on how it works can be found here.

I don't know if is possible to copy this feature from Calibre Web or if it is allowed under the open source guidelines, but possible. This would be great!

Not sync per se, but takes a few steps out if hosting ebooks on ABS and using KOReader https://github.com/naleo/audiobookshelf.koplugin
