What's New in IO reader

1.0.15

September 12, 2026

Plays now read as plays. Standard Ebooks editions of drama were arriving nearly empty, because each speech lives in a table row the parser used to skip. Every line is back, and the speaker's name sits in italics ahead of it. The same fix restores the Etymology table that opens Moby Dick. If you added the same book on two devices while offline or signed out, your library could end up holding it twice. Sync now recognises the second copy as the same book and merges the two. In books that contain tables, a few notes or likes may sit a paragraph away from where you left them after this update.

GREAT app!

This app has helped me read and understand on a whole new level, and the advanced AI technology has helped me interpret confusing passages as well. I’m now finding myself reading classics in my spare time over doomscrolling. English is my second language and even though I can speak fluently, I occasionally stumble on big words and the AI translation tool is so accessible and helpful in these cases! I have also been exploring all of the various AI personas, and they create such an immersive reading space.

New way of reading

I’ve never seen reading app that changes the way of reading like this. The reading mode is clean and keeps me focused. AI doesn’t read on behalf of me but being a companion when I want to think deeper while reading.
