[feature request] Content-server viewer suggesting of book being read on other devices

[Nguyen Quoc Khanh]

Let's say you start reading a book (using the content server viewer) on device A (a tablet), then you want to resume reading on your phone (using the content server viewer). On the phone, you have to search for the book and read it. It is ok but it takes time. Sometimes, to make it easy for the second device, I choose to change the "published" date so that it is sorted and stay on top of the list (the other device is an eink tablet, quite not friendly for typing). However, it would be best not to change the metadata.

With that said, I would like to request and option where the "home" page of the content server shows suggestion of the book being read on other devices (the most recent one is fine). I think the "home" page has more than enough room for it as it only now shows covers of three recent books on the current device and one single button of the full library (I have only one library). The rest is just empty space.

This would only make sense if you use user accounts since there is no
cross device syncing for anonymous users. Are you using a user account?

[Nguyen Quoc Khanh (quockhanh77)]

Yes, sir. I read on the go, so I do have a user account.

Fixed in branch master. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every alternate Friday.

Thank you. Your implementation is more elegant than I imagined.
