Built from your feedback — reading is smoother all round: • Turn pages without pausing: tap ‹ › beside the page number, or swipe the page. • Tap the page number to open the chapter list — every chapter, even in long serials, and a printed contents page is no longer mistaken for chapters. • New "Wait on a new page" setting: the dog pauses for a moment on each new page so you can see the first line (adjust or turn it off in Settings). • Footnotes no longer interrupt the text: they become a small marker you can tap to read, and Read aloud skips them. • Your shelf on Home now shows every book you have opened; tap Edit to remove books. • Text files in GBK or Big5 open correctly, and EPUB and Word imports are more complete and reliable with large files. • Your library is stored more reliably; all your books and reading progress carry over when you update.
