v1.9.0

Highlights

• Two-way page-level progress sync - Your reading position now syncs precisely, page by page, across Kobo, KOReader, and the web. Pick up exactly where you left off on any device.

• Metadata and covers written into audiobooks - Cover art and book details are now embedded directly into your audiobook files, so exported audiobooks stay portable and display correctly in any player.

---

• Kobo metadata provider - A dedicated Kobo provider fetches localized metadata, accurate ISBNs, and high-resolution covers straight from Kobo's catalog.

---

• Every format exposed over OPDS - The OPDS feed now lists all available formats for a book at once, so third-party reading apps can grab the exact file type they need.

---

• Native Kobo reading sessions - Offline reading on your Kobo is now captured automatically, calculating active reading time and progress to fill in your reading log.

• Genre blocklist - Block specific genre tags from ever being written during metadata fetches, keeping your library's categories clean and clutter-free.

---

• Peek at books without tracking - A new peeking mode lets you open and skim any book without updating progress or marking it as Currently Reading.
