First of all, I wanted to thank you for this app, its by far the most usable (and beautiful) reader application I know of.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Recently, I read some text books as epub and, due to their nature, they are full of graphs and diagrams. A few days ago I talked about some of the insights I had from one of these books and wanted to show the corresponding graphs. Since I did not add bookmarks to the particular positions (I actually don't use bookmarks at all, since most of the time I read from my eReader, only occasionally using my PC) they were really hard to find. It would be really nice to have some feature to browse included media.

Describe the solution you'd like

In the sidebar there are already tabs for

  • Table of Contents
  • Annotations
  • Bookmarks

I'd really like to have an additional tab for media, but I'd also be happy with something like a media browser window accessible via the book info page.

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work,
Mani

Related to, though I'm not sure if it fits exactly, your use case is that it should probably provide some way of displaying additional nav elements such as the list of illustrations, tables, etc. (see https://www.w3.org/TR/epub/#sec-nav-def-types-other). Though I'm not sure how many books actually include that in their navigation document.

I'm less sure about a raw media browser, which seems like a workaround for the lack of a proper list of illustrations. Simply exposing the internals of the book wouldn't really yield a good experience, and certainly not one that is intended by the publisher.
