[Kavita] Support for Plain Text Files (*.txt)

[TenviLi]

Idea Description

Description:

I have a large collection of novels stored in plain text format (*.txt). Currently, I am unable to manage these novels with Kavita unless I convert them to *.epub format, which can be time-consuming.

It would be extremely helpful if Kavita could natively support plain text files (*.txt) as a readable format. This feature would allow me and others with similar collections to manage and enjoy our novels without the need for conversion.

Benefits:

• Simplifies the management of text-based novels without requiring conversion.
• Saves time for users who have extensive libraries in *.txt format.
• Expands Kavita’s versatility in handling different text file formats.

Thank you for considering this enhancement!
