Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/issues/1177

Describe the feature you'd like

For now I can drag-and-drop .png or .pdf, but not .epub

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Hoarder users

Handle their book collection

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Not sure, perhaps converting the ePub to PDF and uploading that

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

Additional context

No response

Possibly use an open-source epub reader to display it https://github.com/topics/epub-reader?l=typescript

EPubs can be converted to MD with a set of images, which is likely the best way to handle it. That way we can build off the existing reader mode/markdown infrastructure while just adding image asset support.
