What's New in SimplyRead
4.3.0
September 24, 2026
- Keep listening as you browse: The new compact player lets you pause, resume, return to your book, or close it while browsing your library, search, and settings. Leaving the reader keeps playback going, and closing the player saves your place. - Discover more books: Search now includes Standard Ebooks, with EPUB downloads available directly from search results. - Better chapter recognition: Improved TXT chapter detection preserves more chapter titles and boundaries, including Chinese novels with missing spaces or line breaks. Searching long chapter lists is smoother, too. - Richer Markdown reading: Tables display as tables, reference-style links work as links, and read-aloud skips hidden HTML comments and link definitions. Common encoded symbols are read as their characters. - Find your marks faster: The bookmarks and highlights panel opens near your current reading position. Quoted passages are easier to read on light backgrounds. - More reliable downloads: Clearer retry status, better handling of interrupted transfers, and improved detection of incomplete downloads and error pages. - Fixes and polish: Faster loading for EPUB chapters without images, more accurate EPUB links, and fixes for books disappearing after folder renames or losing their place after editing. Deleting a book now stops its playback. Improved large-text layouts, VoiceOver support, and settings controls.
