Add "Peek inside" mode that doesn't save progress or reading stats

[killeroyo]

What's Your Idea?

Add a second action next to “Read” - “Peek inside”. This opens the same reader, but in a preview/inspection mode.

Preview mode requirements
Do not persist reading progress (no CFI/page/percent updates).
Do not record reading session stats/telemetry.
Keep notes/annotations/bookmarks working normally.
Available to all users.

Why Would This Be Helpful?

When I want to quickly inspect a book (verify title/contents/completeness by fast scrolling), using the normal “Read” action updates progress and records reading session stats, which pollutes “continue reading” and user statistics.

Anything Else? (Optional)

Use a query param, e.g. ?preview=1, and gate progress/session writes in the readers.

Want to Help Out?

What a great idea! This would be really useful as an admin when checking metadata matches file imports :)
