Your reading progress adjusts to the new page count automatically. Better book matching Scanning a barcode or searching by ISBN now finds the exact book instantly. Searches are smarter about typos, too. Content warnings Book pages now show community-sourced content warnings alongside reader votes, so you know what to expect before you start.
