John O'Keefe 913174cdf8 docs(gates): widen relative-link checker to all docs, repair the rot it finds
TestDocsRelativeLinks walked only docs/developer; widening it to all of
docs/ immediately surfaced the same class of rot the gate was built
for, outside its old reach:

- docs/index.md was the old monolith's landing page: linked the deleted
  api-reference.md, 10 directory-style area links, and escaped the docs
  tree to README/AGENTS/.env/compose. Rewritten as a portal whose every
  link resolves, with one representative endpoint doc per API area and
  pointers to the new writing-ui-docs.md standard.
- directory-style links in user stubs (devices/, ../operations/)
- case-mismatched links (Development.md) in contributing.md
- monolith-era pointer (API_REFERENCE.md, TROUBLESHOOTING.md) and
  escaped AGENTS.md links in contributing/development.md
- docs/development/calibre-opf-implementation.md double-up escapes, a
  link to the removed repo-root plan file (absorbed here), and a
  source-code hyperlink the docs site can't serve (now inline code)
- operations/operations.md linked three never-written guide pages as
  aspirational links - they stay plain text until pages exist

HANDS-OFF (project owner, 2026-11-02): docs/user/filters/** and
docs/user/searching-and-filtering.md are exempt as link sources so no
future checker failure can force edits to the filter documentation.
Files linking INTO them remain checked.

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.

Using a Kobo With Bookhoard Today

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.

See the KOReader Setup Guide for complete instructions.

What's Planned for Native Kobo Sync

When released, native Kobo sync will let stock Kobo firmware talk directly to Bookhoard:

  • 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.

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.

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.
