- Easily rate and review books by accessing ‘Before you go...’ directly from The ‘Go to’ menu
- Enhancements to ‘Before you go…’ including the ability to download a free sample and email yourself a reminder about recommended books.
- Additional Font Selection for Japan - Hiragino Mincho ProN (Serif)
- Bug Fixes/Stability improvements
