ePub 3 Support

The ePub Reader provides support for ePub 3 eBooks, although not all ePub 3 features are exploited just yet. Most notable, the reader does not support MathML (but it is on the list for future enhancement). The ePub 3 specification introduced changes to the structural representation of the Table of Contents, and those are supported. Also, the ability to reference SVG files directly in an ePub 3 book is supported, providing your device is running Android 4.0 or greater. For Android platforms lower than 4.0, the reader will attempt to render SVG images if possible (there are some scenarios where that can be done); if not possible, the reader substitutes a placeholder message or image.

Other ePub 3 features include support for <audio> and <video> tags, and pop-up note enablement. To see the pop-up note feature in action, notes should be wrapped in <aside> tags.

For future enhancement, if you discover ePub3 features that are missing that you would like to see supported (like MathML, which is already on the list, but understanding the level of demand is useful, so feel free to include that), please let me know (see Support for how to contact me).

Android Version Support

As eLibrary Manager evolves and support for older version of Android is dropped, I'll continue to make those obsolete versions available for download as much as possible (as long as the app stores hosting them allow that). However, I will not add new features or apply fixes to those obsolete versions.

As of eLibrary Manager version 5.2.4, the application requires a minimum level of Android 6.0 (API 23).
