    • Improve performance of highlights.
    • Provide easier access to Bookmarks in ePub Reader using "Bookmark" action which automatically creates a bookmark without a note (and without the "Bookmark/Note" dialog). You can make this the default action in the reader through the ePub Reader Settings (set by default for new installs).
  • Other fixes and performance improvements.

VERSION 4.1.10 (2019-10-20):

  • NEW: Double tap book list item to view book information.
  • NEW: In keyboard mode, use double click of "Enter" key to launch context menu rather than long press of key (long press in keyboard mode is problematic with context menus).
  • Note: Due to issues on older versions of Android with the latest Android libraries required for Android 10 system dark/light mode integration, I've started producing separate builds for Android versions greater than or equal to version 8 and lower than 8. In the "About" box for the app, if the "Build" version number has a ".102" prefix, then the app does not support Android 10 system dark/light mode integration.

VERSION 4.1.9 (2019-09-09):

  • NEW: Synchronize dark/light mode with system.

    • Note: Available on Android 10+ only.

  • FIX: Fix crash with list view cover image resolution interruption.
  • Minor fixes.

VERSION 4.1.7 (2019-06-29):

  • Migrate scan to WorkManager. This allows scans to continue when main application goes into the background (it's becoming more prevalent to kill background services in these cases in later Android releases).
  • Set ePub Reader locale based on book language. This allows language-specific presentation for books (e.g. RTL layout). To manage book language, add Language as Book Info Property in eLibrary Settings (not included by default).

    • Note: System support for dynamic locales is spotty on some versions of Android. For example, on Android 8.x you might need to rotate the screen before RTL layout is applied.
  • Bug fixes.
  • Migrate to Android 10 (Q).

VERSION 4.1.6 (2019-05-26):

  • [Full] FIX: Export ePub file fails for some books with error "only DEFLATED entries can have EXT descriptor".

  • FIX: Problems opening epub/zip files on removable SD card on Android 9 (Pie).
  • FIX: Android Q permission issues.

VERSION 4.1.4 (2019-05-05):

  • FIX: Fix regression introduced in previous release on some devices. New logic to accommodate changes upcoming in Android Q is not compatible with some devices (that I thought would be compatible). I'm adjusting to use the new logic for Android Q and higher only and revert to previous logic otherwise.

    • Note: I am once again imposing WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission for Android 8 (Oreo) and Android 9 (Pie). Android Q and higher will not require the permission.

VERSION 4.1.3 (2019-04-26):

  • Remove WRITE_EXTERNAL STORAGE permission for Android 8+.
  • Performance improvements for remote book scanning.
  • Android Q imposes greater restrictions on how files can be accessed on shared storage (i.e. files outside of application private storage). Therefore the previous implementation was inefficient on Android Q. I've reworked the file read logic to improve that, also allowing for removal of external storage permissions on Android 8+.

VERSION 4.1.2 (2019-03-03):

  • NEW: Replace eLibrary Manager and ePub Reader search dialogs with action bar search.
  • NEW: Add ability to filter file dialog and Book Info Browser lists.

  • FIX: Handle up navigation properly in older Android version (4.0-4.3).

VERSION 4.1.0 (2018-12-01):

  • [Full] NEW: Export updated book information to calibre.

VERSION 4.0.4 (2018-11-13):

  • Fix issue on Android 9 (Pie) where migration is not complete due to new default SQLite WAL (write ahead log) mode.

VERSION 4.0.3 (2018-11-04):

  • Improve keyboard list positioning by handling multiple keystrokes. Adjust sensitivity using eLibrary Manager Setting "Key Press Interval".
  • Update URL references to HTTPS.

  • Suppress "Downloaded" predefined book list when Android version is less than 7.0.
  • Minor fixes.

VERSION 4.0.0 (2018-06-03):

  • NEW: Access remote books using new app Calibre Documents Provider which allows browsing and reading remote books from calibre Content Server.
  • [Full] NEW: Download remote books (via Calibre Documents Provider) for offline reading.
  • Minor fixes.

    • Handle ePub2 and ePub3 formatted OPF.

  • [Full] NEW: Set cover image as lock screen wallpaper. Enable through eLibrary Settings.

    • Note: Only available on Android 7 (Nougat) and higher.
  • Migration to support Android 8 (Oreo).
  • Bug fixes.
  • Note: As of release 3.1.8, eLibrary Manager requires Android 4.0 or greater (latest Android Support Libraries require minimum SDK level 14).

VERSION 3.1.5 (2017-06-04):

  • NEW: Allow selection of system fonts in reader.
  • FIX: Take screen density into account when managing touch tolerance in reader.

    • Note: If you've adjusted the ePub Reader Settings "Touch Tolerance" Advanced setting, you can likely revert back to the default.

VERSION 3.1.4 (2017-05-08):

VERSION 3.1.3 (2017-05-06):

  • Updates for Android 7 (Nougat), including performance improvements, especially for large book files.

    • Note: To fix performance issues on Android 7+ when accessing book files, storage permissions are now required. Once Android fills in some functional gaps regarding storage access, I will remove if I can.
  • Minor fixes.

VERSION 3.1.2 (2017-04-19):

  • [Full] NEW: Copy highlight/selection to clipboard through highlight context menu or Highlight dialog.
  • [Full] FIX: Handle External Storage Provider document URIs properly in reader.
