Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Kobo readers (barely) support sideloading your own audiobooks. But they DO support audiobooks from the Kobo store.
This feature would allow your own audiobooks hosted on audiobookshelf to be downloaded & played on your ebook similar to how calibre-web supports syncing epubs to kobo devices.

Note: I can find very little on the implementation of audiobooks on kobo devices: so i don't even know if it is technically possible.

Why would this be helpful?

This would enable sideloading audiobooks, something that is not really possible on current Kobo readers.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

I'd expect a setting "enable kobo sync" which results in a url & api key which can be placed in the kobo configuration file.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

2.29.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

No response
