Built-in OPDS/HTML Server

The Server View, a unique feature of BookMaster SE, works as follows (as of v1.4.1):

Server View is where you make your app act as an OPDS/HTML book server instead of a client

- Serve OPDS-capable apps running on another iOS device or Android device
- Serve HTML clients such as web browsers running on iOS, Android, Mac or Windows
- Support client browsing by sets, tags, title, author, series, date added, date last edited, date last read, format, file size
- Transfer individual book files back to PC via Wi-Fi like a reverse PC Upload

This built-in server behaves kind of like calibre's Content Server (with no third-party plug-in or modification), and standard OPDS servers from Gutenberg, Internet Archive, Feedbooks, etc. Thus, it does not behave exactly the way you expected.

When the iPhone version is finally available on the App Store, we will certainly keep on enhancing both iPhone and iPad versions. Meanwhile, I do hear you, and I take your expectation as the first user suggestion of this kind. Thank you.
