Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Can we have a read count for books - a counter representing how often a book was finished by the user.

For an unread book the counter would be 0, and each time a book is finished the counter is incremented by 1.

One could also show the counter for the whole server, as in how often was the book read by any user, but personally I am more interested in the count of the current user.

Why would this be helpful?

This makes it possible to determine how often I have listened to my favourite books.

Also, sometimes my father starts a book and swears he heard it before. But the UI does not tell you, that you finished that book before, once you start a book. It shows the only the current progress.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Just another field in the UI that shows how often a book was finished by the user.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v.2.25.1

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

Current implentation does not provide a counter for books that shows how many times the book was finished.
