1. v1.0.6iOSMajor
    See exactly what is being read, find your place faster, and see your books' real covers.
    
    New
    • Highlighting your way: the word being read, the sentence, or both, in the colour you like. Set it in Settings › Playback, or from the reader's Appearance menu while you read.
    • Real covers. Your library, the now-playing card and the lock screen show each book's cover. Not the one you want? "Change cover…" lets you pick any page of a PDF, or any picture in an EPUB, with suggestions to start from.
    • Read from here. Scroll or jump anywhere in a book and tap "Read from here" to start at the top of the screen. Double-tap a word to start at that exact word.
    • Two new voices, Rowan and Felix. They replace Reed, Cole and Alton; if a book used one of those, it now reads in the closest new voice.
    • Opening a book starts reading straight away, from where you left off.
    
    Improved
    • In PDFs the highlight now sits exactly on the word being spoken.
    • Pages no longer lose their last line, read the chapter title printed in the footer, or split hyphenated words.
    • On iPhone: a full-width page slider with a page preview, the voice one tap away in the controls, and a shorter options menu that fits on screen.
    • Moving with the page slider works like scrolling: the reading carries on until you choose "Read from here" or "Back to audio".
    • Your zoom, and where you keep a zoomed page, are remembered for each book.
    • The library keeps titles readable at every width, with a simpler header.
    • The voice you choose for a book follows it to your other devices.
    • Menus show which voice, speed and options are selected.
    
    Fixed
    • Mac: scrolling with the trackpad or mouse while a book is playing no longer snaps back.
    • EPUB: highlighting no longer stops for a whole chapter after a picture, and picture file names are no longer read aloud.
    • iPhone: the Voice & Speed screen was empty.
    • iPhone: pinch zoom no longer jumps when you lift your fingers.
    • Opening a book no longer shows its first page before moving to where you left off.
    • Units, web addresses and approximate numbers are read naturally.
