### Steps to reproduce
1. Open book details when connected to server and when disconnected from server
2. Or click on book details from local books shelf and open it from continue series shelf
3. Can't remember for sure, but I think it's #2
### Expected behaviour
- shouldn't the details page be the same?
### Actual behaviour
See images

The only thing that gets synced after you download a book is the progress. If you change anything on the server after a download it won't be reflected. There are 2 other issues open related to keeping local metadata in sync but I don't have time to find them at the moment. I think we can basically merge all of these into one github issue since they would all be tackled at the same time.

The book data wasn't updated after it was downloaded.

This specific issue (local version of book page doesn't have the series) is more fully described in #642, so may be good to close this as a duplicate of that one (unless this will be the main issue for syncing metadata after downloading).
As of 0.9.68, the app redirects to the server version of the page if connected to the server, even if clicking on the book in the "Local Books" row so the series information is shown. (Don't remember exactly when this was added, but sometime in the last few releases)

Thanks, the series will only not be shown when not connected to the server since it now redirects to the server page.
I'm leaning towards not implementing all of the navigation for series, authors, collections, playlists, etc. when offline since that is a major task when usually you just have a few books downloaded at a time. In that case the offline view will look a bit different and not show the authors, series, etc. navigation buttons at the top.

at a minimum i would like the series and position, preferably also sorted, but i dont care too much if the nav works for local only i guess
is this related to the downloaded books not showing in the "main" areas, Library, Series, etc?
i had downloaded many books for a trip recently and a new series i wasn't 100% on the order of so it was annoying to google which book came next when i knew that info was already in abs.

Forgot to markup the image. The difference is that one has the series and the other doesn't.
