+| GET    | /api/books/{id}/chapters/{number}/     | Get specific chapter content |
+
+- Ordering by `number`
+- Used by frontend TOC sidebar and content loading
+
+---
+
+## Frontend Specification
+
+### New Pages
+
+#### `/reader/:bookId` — ReadingPage
+
+Full-screen reading view with:
+- Chapter content display (left/right swiping or scroll)
+- Bottom toolbar: TOC toggle, Settings toggle, Progress indicator
+- Top bar: Back button, Book title, Chapter title
+- Swipe/tap/page navigation between chapters
+
+### New Components
+
+#### `ReaderToolbar`
+- Fixed bottom toolbar
+- TOC button (opens TOC drawer)
+- Settings/theme button (opens settings panel)
+- Progress bar showing overall reading progress
+
+#### `TableOfContents`
+- Slide-in drawer from left
+- Lists all chapters with current chapter highlighted
+- Tap on chapter to navigate
+- Shows reading progress per chapter
+
+#### `ReadingSettingsPanel`
+- Slide-in drawer from right (or bottom sheet on mobile)
+- Controls:
+  - Theme presets: Sepia, Dark, Light, Paper
+  - Font family: Sans-serif, Serif, Monospace
+  - Font size slider (12-32)
+  - Line height slider (1.2-2.0)
+  - Margin/padding control
+  - Orientation lock toggle (Auto / Portrait / Landscape)
+- All changes persist immediately via API
+- LocalStorage fallback when offline
+
+### New Hooks
+
+#### `useReadingSettings(bookId)`
+- Fetches user reading settings from API
+- Returns current settings + update function
+- Applies CSS custom properties to document root
+- Falls back to defaults if API unavailable
+
+#### `useChapters(bookId)`
+- Fetches chapter list for TOC
+- Returns chapters array, current chapter, navigate function
+- Prefetches next/prev chapter content
+
+#### `useReadingProgress(bookId)`
+- Fetches/updates reading progress
+- Auto-saves position on chapter change and periodic interval
+
+### New Types
+
+```typescript
+interface Chapter {
+  id: number;
+  book: number;
+  title: string;
+  number: number;
+  content?: string; // Only present when fetching individual chapter
+}
+
+interface ChapterSummary {
+  id: number;
+  book: number;
+  title: string;
+  number: number;
+}
+
+interface ReadingSettings {
+  font_family: "sans-serif" | "serif" | "monospace";
+  font_size: number;
+  line_height: number;
+  margin_width: number;
+  background_color: string;
+  text_color: string;
+  brightness: number;
+  orientation_lock: "auto" | "portrait" | "landscape";
+  theme: "sepia" | "dark" | "light" | "paper";
+}
+
+interface ReadingProgress {
+  current_chapter: number;
+  current_position: number;
+  percentage: number;
+  updated_at: string;
+}
+```
+
+### CSS / Theming
+
+Reading view uses CSS custom properties driven by reading settings:
+
+```css
+:root {
+  --reader-bg: var(--bg-color, #f5f0eb);
+  --reader-text: var(--text-color, #1a1a1a);
+  --reader-font-family: var(--font-family, "Georgia", serif);
+  --reader-font-size: var(--font-size, 18px);
+  --reader-line-height: var(--line-height, 1.6);
+  --reader-margin: var(--margin-width, 16px);
+}
+```
+
+Three theme presets:
+- **Sepia**: `bg:#f5f0eb`, `text:#1a1a1a` — warm, easy on eyes
+- **Dark**: `bg:#1a1a2e`, `text:#e0e0e0` — for low-light reading
+- **Light**: `bg:#ffffff`, `text:#1a1a1a` — crisp and clean
+- **Paper**: `bg:#e8e0d4`, `text:#2c2c2c` — book-like feel
+
+### Orientation Support
+
+- CSS `@media (orientation: portrait)` and `@media (orientation: landscape)` breakpoints
+- Reading settings panel includes orientation lock toggle
+- On mobile, landscape mode expands content horizontally with wider margins
+- Portrait mode stacks controls vertically for thumb-reachable UI
+
+### Routing
+
+Add to App.tsx:
+```
+/                     → LibraryPage
+/books/:bookId        → BookDetailPage
+/reader/:bookId       → ReadingPage
+```
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+1. Backend models + migrations (Chapter, ReadingProgress, ReadingSettings)
+2. Backend serializers + views + URLs
+3. Frontend types + API client
+4. Frontend hooks (useReadingSettings, useChapters, useReadingProgress)
+5. Frontend components (ReadingSettingsPanel, TableOfContents, ReaderToolbar)
+6. Frontend page (ReadingPage)
+7. Routing updates
+8. CSS / theming
