Original release notes

MADE FOR IPHONE DUO
• Closed, the cover screen is a player with large controls.
• Open, the article fills the large display. With a translation on, the original and the translation sit side by side, one on each side of the fold.
• Half open, the page and the playback controls move to opposite sides of the fold.
• Folding and unfolding keep your place.

BETTER FOR BOOKS
• Start from any chapter: in a book, open the ••• menu and tap Chapters. The list shows how long each chapter takes to listen to.
• Books show their own cover on the shelf.
• Choose how the shelf looks: a grid of covers, a list, or text only. The switch is next to the sort button.
• For chapters and a cover on a book you already have, add the book again.

FIXED
• Searching inside a long book no longer freezes Aloud.
• Some books showed or read out codes like " " in their text.
• A book's own contents page is no longer read aloud before chapter one.
• Resizing Aloud in iPhone Mirroring on a Mac no longer switches it to the closed-phone player.
