We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes, bringing a wave of enhancements and fresh features to your beloved reading platform. Here’s a peek at what’s new and improved:
Area/Image Highlights in EPUBs
You can now make area/image highlights while reading EPUBs. This feature was already available for PDFs for the last 12 months. The Area/Image highlight functionality in EPUBs, allows you to easily highlight & annotate the entire image or only a particular section of that image.
Take it for a spin and let us know what you think. Coming to iOS and Android in November.
Saved Themes
You can now easily create and save your own reader themes/settings. Your custom reader themes/settings will be synchronized across both iOS devices & Web, allowing you to quickly selected your preferred setting with a single click. For those that have created custom themes/settings in iOS, you will notice that they are also now available in Web for you to quickly apply while reading.
Coming to Android later this year.
