Web reader now remembers your position + records read history

If you've ever opened a book in the browser, read for a while, closed the tab, and come back to find yourself thrown back to the beginning — this is the fix. Two distinct problems were combining to cause it:

1. The reader's saved-position logic was overwriting itself with "0" the moment the page loaded, before it had finished computing positions. So your real progress got wiped on every page open.
2. Opening a book in the web reader never recorded a "started reading" event, so your /read / /unread filters never reflected anything you read in the browser.

Both fixed. The reader now keeps the right position across reloads, and your read history reflects browser reading sessions alongside Kobo and KOReader sessions.
