docs(user): reader audio section + kobo guide refresh to platform reality
reader-guide.md gains the audiobook/episode player section (seek, prev/next episode, Bookmarks panel, Chapters list, Player settings with autoplay/speed/resume-rewind overrides, Shortcuts dialog) — the player existed with zero user docs. kobo-setup.md drops the stale 'not available yet, actively being developed' framing: the server side of native Kobo sync is implemented and documented (sync/initialization endpoints, bookmark + markup sync, shelf mappings, KEPUB sidecar config), so the guide now states exactly that, keeps stock-firmware rollout as the honest remaining piece, and keeps KOReader as the supported today-path. ui-controls.md: Player settings / Shortcuts & interactions / Chapters / Bookmarks entries (templ-entity fragments for ampersand labels).

# Kobo Device Setup Guide
|
||||
|
||||
> ## 🚧 Coming Soon
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Native Kobo sync is not available yet. It is actively being developed and this guide will be filled in as the feature lands.
|
||||
There are two ways to use a Kobo with Bookhoard, and they can be chosen
|
||||
independently per device:
|
||||
|
||||
## Using a Kobo With Bookhoard Today
|
||||
| Way | Status | What you get |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| **KOReader on the Kobo** | Works today, fully | Reading position, bookmarks, highlights, notes, OPDS wireless book delivery |
|
||||
| **Stock Kobo firmware (native sync)** | Server support is complete; device-side enablement is the remaining piece | Reading position and stats, bookmarks/highlights/notes, shelf mappings (your collections as Kobo shelves), automatic EPUB → KEPUB conversion, and the Kobo's own sync experience |
|
||||
|
||||
You don't have to wait: **KOReader runs on Kobo hardware** and syncs fully with Bookhoard today — reading position, bookmarks, highlights, and notes, plus OPDS wireless book delivery.
|
||||
## Using a Kobo today
|
||||
|
||||
See the **[KOReader Setup Guide](koreader-setup.md)** for complete instructions.
|
||||
**KOReader runs on Kobo hardware** and syncs fully with Bookhoard right
|
||||
now — the [KOReader Setup Guide](koreader-setup.md) walks the whole path
|
||||
(plugin install, server approval, OPDS delivery, troubleshooting).
|
||||
|
||||
## What's Planned for Native Kobo Sync
|
||||
## About native Kobo sync
|
||||
|
||||
When released, native Kobo sync will let stock Kobo firmware talk directly to Bookhoard:
|
||||
The server side of the native protocol is implemented and documented: the
|
||||
Kobo sync and initialization endpoints, bookmark and markup (highlight and
|
||||
note) sync, shelf mappings that expose your collections as Kobo shelves,
|
||||
and the KEPUB sidecar configuration used for conversion. What remains is
|
||||
the device-side rollout, so stock-firmware sync is not yet something to
|
||||
rely on for daily use — this guide will gain a full setup walkthrough when
|
||||
that lands.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Reading position sync** — percentages, pages, and reading statistics
|
||||
- **Bookmarks, highlights, and notes** — synced with the web and other devices
|
||||
- **OPDS wireless delivery** — browse and download books directly on the Kobo
|
||||
- **Automatic EPUB → KEPUB conversion** — for better Kobo rendering
|
||||
- **Shelf mappings** — Bookhoard collections appearing as Kobo shelves
|
||||
|
||||
The server-side protocol endpoints are already implemented and under test; the feature will be announced when it's ready for real devices.
|
||||
Nothing about native sync takes anything away from KOReader: the two can
|
||||
coexist, and a KOReader setup keeps working either way.
|
||||
|
||||
## FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: Should I buy a Kobo to use with Bookhoard today?**
|
||||
A: Kobo devices work great with Bookhoard via KOReader. Native (stock firmware) sync is coming soon.
|
||||
A: Yes, via KOReader — it is the supported path today and covers sync plus
|
||||
wireless book delivery.
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: What happens to my KOReader setup when native sync arrives?**
|
||||
A: Nothing — KOReader will keep working. Native sync simply adds another option for people who prefer stock Kobo firmware.
|
||||
**Q: Will I have to redo anything when native sync lands?**
|
||||
A: No — KOReader keeps working; native sync just adds the stock-firmware
|
||||
option.
