Thank you all for using Hyphen! :)

NEW FEATURES

■ Syncing!

By far the most requested feature, I've worked hard to ensure 1.2 includes the ability to sync your entire library - your books, reading location, highlights, bookmarks, vocabulary and shelves - between devices via iCloud. Syncing is available from the Shelf via pull-to-sync gesture.

■ Customizable Gestures

While in Reading View, Hyphen now allows you to choose the actions associated with a left or right tap, as well as the size of their hotspots. Gestures like Tap-and-drag to Highlight can also be disabled entirely.

Hyphen now includes has support for ePub 3 footnotes, which can be accessed by long-pressing a footnote in compliant ePubs 3s.

■ New Define Popup.

Selecting text and choosing 'Define' in the selection menu now opens a popup that gives you access to dictionary definitions, Wikipedia entries and instant translation to 70+ languages.

■ In-app Brightness.

You can now choose to for Hyphen's vertical swipe to adjust either the system brightness or in-app brightness.

■ Page Curling.

1.2 now supports fluid, interactive page curling animations while turning pages.

Download books from your favorite catalogs with just a tap.
