Boox Rich Annotations v1.1.0

Release Date: June 13, 2026

What's New

Major UI Overhaul

  • Streamlined Single-Page Interface: Replaced multi-page navigation with a single-page list view with inline actions for faster workflow
  • Icon-Based Actions: Save and share buttons are now icon buttons positioned at bottom-right of each book card
  • Annotation Count Display: Each book card now shows the annotation count directly
  • Smart Filtering: Only books with at least one annotation are displayed in the list

E-ink Display Optimizations

  • Pure Black Icons: All icons (refresh, sort, search, save, share) are now pure black (#000000) for optimal e-ink visibility
  • Consistent Dialog Styling: All dialogs now feature white backgrounds with black borders and properly styled buttons
  • Enhanced Contrast: Larger text sizes (20sp titles, 16sp metadata) for better readability on e-ink displays

Improved Sorting

  • Popup Menu Selector: Sort options (Last Read / Alphabetical) now appear in a compact popup menu instead of a dialog
  • Visual Feedback: Current sort mode is indicated with a checkmark

Better UX

  • Tooltips: All buttons now have descriptive tooltips on long-press
  • Streamlined Export: Save button now shows a confirmation dialog with option to open the exported file
  • Reading Order Sorting: Annotations are sorted by page number and character position (locationBeginInt) for true reading order

Technical Improvements

  • Bulk Loading: All annotations are loaded in a single efficient query and matched to books
  • Better Performance: Reduced database queries and eliminated per-book annotation fetching
  • Cleaner Codebase: Removed unused BookDetailActivity and related files
