Update core reader infrastructure to support new page-based navigation system
for reflowable formats while maintaining existing functionality for PDF, comic,
and manga formats.
## Core Integration Changes
### reader-context.ts
- Update imports to use new formats/reflowable module paths
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing type definitions
### reader-navigation.ts
- **Replace spine-based scrolling with page-based navigation**
- Integrate reflowable navigation modules for ebook handling
- Add imports for new navigation, progress tracking, and content rendering
- Implement discrete page navigation (no scrolling within pages)
## Navigation System Upgrade
### Previous (Broken)
- Spine-based scrolling: Scroll through entire chapters
- No page boundaries: Couldn't track position within content
- Progress tracking failed: No granular position data
- Position saving broken: Only saved chapter, not page
### New (Working)
- Page-based navigation: Discrete page boundaries
- CFI progress tracking: Precise position within content
- Position restoration: Accurate page restoration on reload
- Real pagination: Actual page numbers instead of chapter offsets
## Format Support
### Reflowable Formats (EPUB, FB2, TXT, HTML)
- Use new page-based navigation system
- Support for CFI-based progress tracking
- Proper pagination with word-count estimation
- Page content extraction and rendering
### PDF, Comic, Manga
- Maintain existing navigation functionality
- No changes to working systems
- Preserve user experience for these formats
## Technical Implementation
- ReflowableBook type casting for type safety
- Navigation functions (nextPage, previousPage, goToPage)
- Progress tracking integration
- Content rendering with page data
- UI updates for page indicators
This integration fixes the core pagination issues that prevented proper reading
progress tracking and position management for reflowable formats.
Extract UI components from format-specific code into dedicated ui/ directory.
This creates a clean separation between functionality and presentation, making
it easier to maintain and share UI elements across different reader formats.
## New UI Components
### Core UI Elements
- **gestures.ts**: Touch and mouse gesture handling
- **keyboard-shortcuts.ts**: Keyboard navigation and shortcuts
- **navigator-panel.ts**: Table of contents and navigation panel
- **offline-manager.ts**: Offline reading support and caching
### Progress Display
- **progress-indicator.ts**: Reading progress bar and percentage
- **reading-speed-tracker.ts**: Words per minute calculation
- **page-display.ts**: Current page / total pages display
### Panel System
- **panel-dock-system.ts**: Draggable, resizable panel dock interface
## Architecture Benefits
1. **Format Independence**: UI components work with any format
2. **Reusability**: Same components work for PDF, EPUB, comic, manga
3. **Maintainability**: UI logic separated from format-specific code
4. **Testability**: UI can be tested independently of readers
5. **Consistency**: Uniform UX across all format types
## Migration Notes
- Moved from reader/features/ to reader/ui/
- Components use ReaderContext interface for format-agnostic access
- Maintains all existing functionality during transition
- Feature registration pattern preserved for backward compatibility
This creates the foundation for a unified user interface that works seamlessly
across all reader format types while maintaining format-specific flexibility.
Implement complete modularization of reader code by separating format-specific
functionality into dedicated modules. This replaces the monolithic structure
with a clean, maintainable architecture that separates concerns by format type.
## New Architecture
### Format-Specific Modules
- **formats/reflowable/**: EPUB, FB2, TXT, HTML (page-based pagination)
- types.ts: Shared type definitions for reflowable formats
- page-calculator.ts: Word-count based pagination with HTML slicing
- navigation.ts: Page-based navigation logic
- progress-tracker.ts: CFI-based progress tracking
- content-renderer.ts: DOM rendering for page content
- parser.ts: Unified parser interface for all reflowable formats
- ebook/**: Migrated ebook-specific features
- **formats/pdf/**: PDF format support
- Core PDF functionality (navigation, text selection, annotations)
- Advanced features (bookmarks, search, outlines, dual-page)
- Page cache and rendering optimizations
- **formats/comic/**: Comic format support
- Background color, chapter markers, page caching
- Page ordering, gap adjustments
- **formats/manga/**: Manga format support
- RTL navigation, vertical scrolling, reading direction
## Key Improvements
1. **Separation of Concerns**: Each format has its own dedicated module
2. **No Circular Dependencies**: Clean import structure
3. **Type Safety**: Comprehensive TypeScript types throughout
4. **Functional Programming**: Pure functions, no OOP complexity
5. **Scalability**: Easy to add new formats without touching core code
## Migration Path
- Old format-specific code in reader/, ebook/, pdf/, comic/, manga/
- New code in formats/[format]/ structure
- Maintains backward compatibility during transition
- Core reader logic remains format-agnostic
This change enables the implementation of page-based pagination for reflowable
formats while keeping PDF, comic, and manga functionality unchanged.
Replace HTML-splitting pagination with CSS columns for true paginated
viewing. This simplifies the implementation and relies on the browser's
native column-fill behavior for accurate page breaks.
Changes:
- view-modes.ts: Use CSS columns with column-fill: auto instead of
pre-splitting HTML content into page chunks. Calculate page count
from scrollHeight / viewportHeight.
- reader-navigation.ts: Navigate by scrolling viewport height instead of
extracting discrete page content. Track page position via scroll
offset. Simplified renderSpineItem to load full spine content.
- page-calculator.ts: Simplified to track spine info (charCount,
estimatedPages) only. No more height-based content splitting.
Page calculation happens in real-time from DOM scroll position.
Benefits:
- Accurate pagination without estimation errors
- Works correctly across different font sizes and screen sizes
- Simpler code with fewer edge cases
- Natural page breaks at element boundaries via CSS
This commit implements true page-based pagination for the ebook reader,
similar to Kindle's approach where content is split into discrete pages
based on viewport size, font settings, and content layout.
Phase 1 - Bug Fixes:
- Fix goToPage to use getScrollPositionForPage instead of treating
page numbers as spine indices
- Move page calculation to initialize before first render to avoid
race condition with scroll handler
- Add fallback page calculation when pageCalculationResult is null
Phase 2 - Page Splitting:
- Add new page-splitter.ts module with CFI-based splitting for EPUB
and height-based fallback for other formats
- Integrate splitContent into page-calculator to generate discrete
page content for each spine item
- Store pages[] array in ChapterPageInfo for rendering
- Rewrite navigation (nextPage, previousPage, renderSpineItem) to
use page-based approach with currentPage tracking
- Remove old scroll-based pagination from view-modes.ts
- Update paginated mode CSS for true page clipping
Phase 3 - Progress Display:
- Update progress-indicator to use currentPage directly instead of
calculating from scroll position
- Fix getCurrentPage in reader-state to return currentPage for ebooks
Phase 4 - Interface Fixes:
- Add currentPage field to UniversalReader interface
- Update sendProgressUpdate to use currentPage directly
- Initialize currentPage to 1 on reader creation
Key features:
- Dynamic page count based on font size, line height, margins
- CFI-based page splitting preserves reading context
- Falls back to height-based splitting for non-EPUB formats
- Progress display updates immediately on page change
- Settings changes trigger page recalculation and re-render
- Add SVG image support: process <image xlink:href=...> elements
in addition to HTML <img> tags for cover pages and embedded images
- Fix progress update: use 'id' from API response instead of
'media_item_id' which the backend never returns for this endpoint
- Update reader context interfaces to include currentPage field
- Add debug logging for all resource keys to help troubleshoot
image loading issues in future epubs
- Add enhanced image path lookup (findImageInResources) that tries multiple
path variations: full path, relative path, filename only, without extension,
and common extensions (.jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .webp, .svg, .png)
- Fix keyboard navigation by focusing container on reader init
- Implement Kindle-style page display using pageCalculationResult for both
currentPage and totalPages instead of raw spine index

Delete old versions of features that are now in /reader/features/:
- offline-manager.ts (moved to features/)
- reading-speed-tracker.ts (moved to features/)
- panel-dock-system.ts (replaced by converted version in features/)
- navigator-panel.ts (replaced by converted version in features/)
All imports now use the /reader/features/ directory. This eliminates
duplication and makes it clear which files are the active ones.
Create panel-dock-system.ts and navigator-panel.ts in features/
directory with proper init() implementations. Copy offline-manager
and reading-speed-tracker to features/ as well.
Fix bug where context parameter was unused in init() but referenced
throughout the file. Now properly stored as module-level variable
so all gesture handler functions can access it.
Convert view-modes.ts to init(context) pattern with:
- Paginated mode with pagination controls
- Scrolled mode for continuous reading
- Single and double column layouts
- Event-based navigation and mode switching
Complete the Feature Registration Pattern refactoring across all reader
modules. Each feature now exports an init(context) function and uses the
event-based architecture for loose coupling.
