MADE FOR IPHONE DUO • Closed, the cover screen is a player with large controls. • Open, the article fills the large display. With a translation on, the original and the translation sit side by side, one on each side of the fold. • Half open, the page and the playback controls move to opposite sides of the fold. • Folding and unfolding keep your place. BETTER FOR BOOKS • Start from any chapter: in a book, open the ••• menu and tap Chapters. The list shows how long each chapter takes to listen to. • Books show their own cover on the shelf. • Choose how the shelf looks: a grid of covers, a list, or text only. The switch is next to the sort button. • For chapters and a cover on a book you already have, add the book again. FIXED • Searching inside a long book no longer freezes Aloud. • Some books showed or read out codes like " " in their text. • A book's own contents page is no longer read aloud before chapter one. • Resizing Aloud in iPhone Mirroring on a Mac no longer switches it to the closed-phone player.
