Chapters that used to end on a half-empty page now carry on into the next one, page turns slide across chapter boundaries, and books keep their own fonts and fit their wider tables.

New

  • A half-empty last page is filled by the next chapter. With the continuous-reading options on (see Notes below), when a chapter ends with a spread holding one page, the next chapter's first page sits beside it: you turn straight on into that chapter's second spread, reading backwards mirrors it, and the joined half keeps its own links, footnotes, selection, bookmark ribbon and notes.

  • Chapter boundaries turn like ordinary pages. With the same options on, the seam between chapters slides instead of cutting — a drag, tap, key press or wheel carries the current and the next chapter together, and you can reverse half-way. The cover, colour pages, contents and colophon slide through the same way, and quick repeated taps keep travelling instead of stopping at every screen.

  • Export a folder's books. A folder's menu now offers Export book: one EPUB for a single book, or a ZIP for several.

  • Select a whole folder at once. In batch mode, tapping a folder selects every book inside it. In list view a folder now has a real row showing its first book's cover, author and progress, and it sorts together with the books.

Improved

  • Books keep their own fonts. The reader's default font no longer overrides fonts the book declares, and fonts used only inside a chapter's own styles are no longer dropped.

  • Images and wide tables stay inside the page. Title images are no longer cut off at large font sizes, and a wide text table is narrowed and wraps its long lines while keeping its font size and column layout. A table the book itself pins in place is left the way the book designed it.

  • Footnotes and links in the page-turn areas respond. A footnote or link that sits in an edge turn area opens on a tap instead of only turning the page; ordinary text there still turns the page.

  • Small Aa panel details. Font sizes are shown as plain numbers without long decimal tails, and switches that cannot be used at the moment are greyed out.

Fixed

  • Maximizing or restoring the window no longer misaligns a two-page view; the right page keeps its place after the window is resized. (Windows)

  • Wide single pages keep their side margins when a large font is used on a wide screen, instead of pressing the text against the window edge.

  • The edges of a two-page spread respond. An empty half opens the menu on a centre tap and turns pages on an edge tap or swipe, and dragging back out of a paired image or colour spread moves both pages together with the hint at the outer edge.

  • Long shelf lists no longer go blank. With many folders and hundreds of books, rows keep appearing all the way to the last book.

  • Automatic two-page view no longer leaves a sliver of the next column: at some font sizes it falls back cleanly to a single page.

Notes

  • These are opt-in. Filling the half-empty spread and sliding between chapters need High-performance preloading turned on, Slide between chapters turned on, and Page turn set to Slide; they apply to ordinary horizontal two-page reading. Leave them off and the reader behaves exactly as before. While the pages of a book are still being measured after opening or changing the font size, the fill starts a little later — more so in a very large book.
  • Windows: install over your existing copy as usual; your library is kept.
  • Android: download the new .apk and install it over your current version; your library and reading progress are kept.

中文版

章末只剩一页的那屏会接上下一章，章节交界的翻页能滑过去，书自带的字体和较宽的表格也正常了。

新增

  • 章末空着的半页会补上下一章的第一页。 打开连续阅读的两个开关后（见下方"说明"），普通横排书双页阅读时，章末只剩一页的那一屏会补上下一章首页：从这里往后翻直接进入下一章第二屏，倒着读同样对称；拼进来的那半页能点自己的链接和脚注、能选中文字，书签丝带与笔记也按它自己所属的那一章处理。
  • 章节交界像普通翻页一样滑过去。 打开同样的开关后，章节之间不再直接切换：拖动、点按、按键和滚轮都带着两章一起移动，中途还能往回滑。封面、彩页、目录、制作信息之间也一样连续滑动，连续快速点按会一直往后走，而不是每屏停一下。
  • 从文件夹导出原书。 文件夹菜单新增"导出书籍"：单本导出 EPUB，多本打包成 ZIP。
  • 批量选择可以整夹选中。 批量模式下点一下文件夹就选中夹内全部书；列表视图里的文件夹现在有真实的行，显示夹内第一本书的封面、作者和进度，并和书一起排序。

改进

  • 书自带的字体能生效了。 阅读器默认字体不再盖掉书里声明的字体，只写在章内样式里的字体也不会再被丢掉。
  • 图片和较宽的表格不越出页面。 大字号下标题图不再被截掉；较宽的纯文字表格会收窄并让长行换行，同时保留字号和列宽分配；书本身固定住的表格仍保持原样。
  • 翻页区里的脚注和链接能点了。 落在边缘翻页区里的脚注或链接点一下就打开，不再只是翻页；那里的普通正文仍然翻页。
  • Aa 面板的小细节。 字号显示成普通数字，不再带一长串小数；当前用不了的开关会变灰。

修复

  • 最大化或还原窗口后，双页不再错位，窗口尺寸变化后右页回到正确位置。（仅 Windows）
  • 宽屏单页会留出侧边距，大字号下正文不再贴着窗口边。
  • 双页的边缘有反应了。 空着的那半页中间点按出菜单、边缘点按或滑动翻页；从拼好的图片或彩页双页往回拖时，两页一起移动，提示落在屏幕外沿。
  • 书架很长时列表不再滚成空白，文件夹很多、书上百本时也能一直看到书行，滚到最后一本。
  • 自动双页不再露出旁边一栏的一条边，某些字号下会干净地回退成单页。

说明

  • 这些功能默认关闭。 补半页和章节间滑动需要同时打开"高性能预读"、"章节间连续滑动"，并把"翻页动画"设为"滑动"；只对普通横排双页阅读生效。不打开时阅读器行为和以前完全一样。开书或改字号后要等后台量完各章页数才开始补，大书会稍久一些。
  • Windows：照常覆盖安装，书架会保留。
  • Android：下载新的 .apk 覆盖安装当前版本即可，书架和阅读进度都会保留。

如果哪里不顺手，或者某本书显示得不对，欢迎在 Issues 告诉我们，附上平台、版本号和书名。祝阅读愉快。
