What's New

📄 Reflowable PDF reading (headline)

  • Toggle any fixed-layout PDF into reflow mode — text re-wraps to your screen, font size, and spacing instead of pinch-zooming tiny columns
  • Reflowed PDFs get the full typography stack (font size, line spacing, alignment) and text selection / search, just like EPUB

📚 New document formats

  • Plain-text (.txt) reader
  • CBZ comic / manga archive reader
  • Opens files by content (magic bytes), not just file extension

🗞️ InkRead Daily — on-device daily reading companion

  • Pulls your RSS feeds / blogs / read-later into a single clean e-ink daily issue
  • Auto-compiles a fresh issue each morning
  • Front-page headlines with read / unread tracking
  • Readable article extraction (strips site chrome to just the prose)

🔤 Typography & reading comfort

  • Font-family selection — bundled open-source faces (serif / sans / mono, from KOReader's set)
  • Flexible line spacing + larger font sizes
  • Quick font-size presets and clearer font/rotation controls
  • Reading style presets + night mode (inverted)

🧭 Navigation

  • Table of Contents sheet + chapter prev/next jump
  • Reading bar with in-chapter progress
  • Swipe to turn pages
  • Double-tap-to-zoom at the tap point (PDF)
  • Zoom preserved across page turns, and turn pages while zoomed

✍️ Handwriting & annotations

  • Handwritten-notes list — all your ink annotations in one place
  • More precise lasso / text selection (glyph-center, not loose bounding box)
  • Improved palm rejection
  • In-progress strokes preserved across page turns
  • Ink persists when switching pen colour

🔖 Reading position

  • Reflow-stable resume — reopens exactly where you left off, even after changing font/size or toggling reflow
  • Add-to-Digest for EPUB with a stable anchor

✨ Polish

  • Translucent floating tool puck — now a light, collapsed inkwell
  • Glyph fallback — fewer missing-character boxes
  • Faster page turns via read-ahead prefetch
