Smart downloads
Currently, managing a large digital library is a manual chore. Users have to track new releases, remember which volume comes next, and constantly prune old files to save space. 1. The "Rolling Window" (Next {x} Unread) Instead of manually downloading a whole series, users can maintain a dynamic "buffer" of content. - Choose a series and select "Download Next {x} Unread" (e.g., Next 3). - When you finish Book 1, the app automatically deletes Book 1 and immediately queues Book 4 for download. 2. Automated Storage Cleanup Stop hunting through your downloads to find what you've already finished.Auto-Delete on Finish: - A toggle to automatically remove a file from local storage once it is marked as "Read". - A single-button option in the Downloads menu to "Remove All Read Books," allowing for instant storage recovery. 3. Persistent Series Sync & New Releases Smart Downloads should act as a "Subscription" to a series, not just a one-time file fetch. - Once a series is marked for Smart Downloads, the app remembers this choice. - For ongoing series, the app automatically monitors for new releases. When a new issue is added to the library, it is instantly queued for download. - A central button to force a metadata check across all "Smart" series to ensure your offline library is perfectly up to date.

As someone with intermittent internet access at work, this will be a godsend. So many times I've found myself with spare time but no wifi, and all of my downloaded comics are already read because I forgot to update them when I was on the wifi. I guess you may also want to include some sort of handling for when the server isn't reachable, (like when the device is offline) and re-check for fresh downloads when the device is back online. I think you touched on this with the "Subscription" part, but wanted to be sure. Thanks for your hard work, and I'm REALLY looking forward to this feature!

Yes, exactly. If the server isn't reachable, syncing is skipped. As soon as the device is back online and the server becomes reachable again, it will automatically re-check and download any new eligible books
