  ## Release Highlights * Audiobooks: Added Audiobookshelf support for streaming audiobooks and podcasts, and you can now pair an audiobook with its ebook to read along as it plays * Text-to-Speech: Added a lyric-style view that shows the sentences around the one being read, plus per-book offline voice downloads and steadier pauses between sentences * Library: You can now browse the web inside Readest to add books, choose which chapters to import from a web novel, hide covers for privacy, and watch download progress right on the shelf * Sharing: Added Nearby BookDrop to send and receive books between nearby devices over your local network, including KOReader devices * Reading: Added customizable keyboard and mouse shortcuts, Yomitan dictionary support, a full-screen book cover view, and right-to-left page order for comics and fixed-layout books * Reading: The Notebook is now a full writing workspace, where your notes save as you type, sync across devices, and link back to the passage they came from * Footnotes: Footnote popups no longer get cut off, let you select and look up text, and can jump straight to the note's place in the book * PDF: You can now select text across page boundaries, copy paragraphs without broken line breaks, and see the printed page numbers as reference pages * Sync: Your book groups and shelves now sync, file sync between devices settles reliably, highlights you delete in KOReader come across, and your progress survives an OPDS re-download
