Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Hi there,

I've imported a large amount of files, mostly PDFs right now and the web reader (either from the web interface or using the Android app) simply displays the current page and the total, without the option to "jump to page" or scroll faster.

I believe either a slider (as the screenshot reported below) or an option to jump to a specific page (such as clicking on the page number and then inserting the desidered page) would be great.

Why would this be helpful?

This would improve greatly (in my opinion and use cases at least) the navigation inside PDFs (as that is my current usage)

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Below is a screenshot from a direct competitor :D (Komga)

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.19.5

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

Currently the web ereader just displays the current page / total pages without much options to navigate
