Describe the feature/enhancement

Hi,

i have a few audiobooks with an accompanying PDF file. For example a lot of science audiobooks come with such a file to allow the listener to look at graphs or illustrations.

I'd love to have a feature that detects if there is a pdf file within an audiobook folder and offers the user to download/read the file. It already does show in the "file" drop-down for download, but this only applies to the web-player, and involes a lot of searching if there are many audio-tracks to a book.

When using the android/ios client there is also no way to access this file (i guess opening the web-interface would work).

Maybe it's possible to put a button for this action here:

Example of the pdf in the file-download drop-down:

Definitely not a high priority but i think this would be a nice usability addition in the future.

The e-reader is currently experimental so if you turn on experimental features you should see a "Read" button when there is a pdf.

Currently this only supports one ebook file per book.
