[Feature] enable bookmarks to load while offline

At least on iOS, bookmarks don't load when offline.

I can't reproduce this issue. Is this happening on the latest production version?

@Christoffyw Looks like it only happens if the app hasn't been opened in a while (a few hours to a day or more?). For example, we have bad reception at our church, so opening the app in church usually results in a blank Bookmarks page unless the user had the app open before coming to church.

Yes, 2.0.2

@Nomalah I'm hesitant to get rid of my Hungarian and Zbirka bookmarks to test your theory 😆 But that sounds very plausible.

This also might be inadvertently fixed when I fix #65, I'm reworking the remote books a bit, and I have a guess that it might end up fixing this.

I'll turn off my data and test that way, we'll see if we can reproduce over here. Of note, is that the current production version caches the metadata for books and songs for an hour, so that's likely what you're seeing.

My testing shows that add-on books without a connection results in missing bookmarks (instead of unavailable or similar)

Hmmm. Here's what it looks like for me...

When I open the app with airplane mode on (after a few hours of the app being closed):
