What's New in Honor Library

Honor Library 4.1: - Your Library is now a shelf. Books stand three across, a book without a cover gets a printed cover, and each book's page takes on its cover's color. - Dark mode, with a violet night sky and wooden shelves, whenever your phone is set to dark. - A new look on the latest iPhones: see-through bars and panels, and covers that open into their pages. - Hold one of your books to start or stop sharing it, or to edit it. - Book titles are set in a new serif typeface. - Profile shows your shelf, circle, and wishlist at a glance. - An empty shelf shows three quick ways to add your first book. Thanks for sharing books on Honor Library.
