A new listening speed picker: a ruler you slide to the exact speed from 0.5× to 3×, with anchors at the usual values. The sleep timer works the same way. Every theme has its own take on the ruler. Bug fixes.

Comics: CBZ files and scanned PDFs read like comics. Two-page spread with the cover on its own, turn pages with a tap on the edge. Bug fixes.

iPhone Duo: unfold your phone and read it like a book. Two pages side by side with the spine on the fold, tabletop reading with page turns below the fold, and a nightstand player with a large time remaining. The player gets its own page in the spread. Easier on the battery while listening with the screen off. Bug fixes.

Bug fixes.

Twins: link the ebook and the audiobook of the same title and switch between them. In the player, “Read from Here” opens the ebook where you are listening; in the reader, “Listen to Audiobook” starts the audio at the page you are reading. “Back” takes you to where you were. Read Aloud: the reader reads your ebook out loud with an iOS voice and turns the pages for you. A shareable statistics card: your streak, the last 14 days and this year, in the colours of your theme. Faster launch and a smoother library, even with hundreds of books across two storages. Fixed: a library in a Dropbox folder connected through the Files app no longer gets extra “ebook (1)” or “Unknown file.bookitca” folders. App data now lives in a single “BOOKITCA data” folder and positions sync correctly between devices.

The editions got even more handcrafted, and big libraries got fast. • Drop caps: every chapter opens with a large initial in your edition's colour and typeface. Turn them off under Aa. • The Paperback shelf now has spines in the bold colours of classic adventure series. Audiobook cassettes stack into neat piles. • A new large widget, split down the middle: the book you're reading on the left, the audiobook you're listening to on the right, with Play and Pause right on your Home Screen. • Text next to a drop cap can be selected and highlighted like anywhere else. • The widget carries your edition's typeface and signature, and switches between the day and night edition. Play and Pause respond reliably, and after a restart the widget no longer shows Pause for a book that isn't playing. • Tap the title on the Continue card, not just the cover, to open the book's details. • Large Audiobookshelf libraries load much faster: titles, authors, chapters and lengths come straight from the server. • After reinstalling or on a new device, you pick up right where you left off, and an older device no longer overwrites your newer position. • Tables of contents in EPUBs converted with Calibre lead to the right chapters and open at the one you're reading. • MOBI and PDB books show Czech characters correctly. • Links that leave a book open only after you confirm. Plus many small stability and security fixes.

Ready from the first launch. Your library sets itself up in iCloud (or on the phone without iCloud), three books to try are one tap away, and BOOKITCA opens an EPUB or an audiobook straight from Files, Mail or Safari. Settings are shorter and clearer, with everything about storage in one place. CarPlay. BOOKITCA is in your car. Continue, Library and Collections on the car display, speed and bookmark right on Now Playing. Your phone stays in your pocket. A new player. All ten editions got a player of their own. The controls are the same everywhere and right under your thumb, while the look speaks the edition's language: a bookmark in Original, a keyboard in Neo Brutalist, an article opening in Editorial, a chapter grid in Swiss, a catalogue card in Archive, typescript in Samizdat, cloth boards in Collected Works. Even the chapter slider is different in every edition. Original in four colours. Coral is joined by Porcelain, Mist and Linen. The reader's Paper and Night follow them. Collected Works in three volumes. Vol. I bottle green, Vol. II Prussian blue, Vol. III burgundy. Little things. The word play button never gets cut off. Dozens of small typesetting and spacing refinements in the player.

The Shelf. A new library view: books stand spine out like on a real bookcase, and every edition turns them into its own book series. Tap a book to pull it off the shelf. Several storage services at once. Dropbox, iCloud Drive, WebDAV and now S3 and Audiobookshelf. Books from all of them meet in one library. S3. AWS, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi and MinIO. Audiobookshelf. Audiobooks and ebooks from your own server. Listening position and ebook progress are written back to the server. Book from a link. Add a book straight from a link to its file in Catalogs. Goodreads. A Goodreads link on finished books, and your read books export to CSV for Goodreads and StoryGraph. Older formats. FB2, PDB, RTF and TXT from long-kept archives. Effects. The cover in book details catches the light as you tilt, E-Ink and Samizdat got real paper. Turn them off in Settings › Appearance. Little things. The library list scrolls smoothly. Library settings are shorter, with details under (i).

The reader, refined from the ground up. Pages turn on a tap right at the edge of the screen, even mid turn. Chapters change without a flicker, and page numbers count the whole book. Your theme now shapes the reader too: header, bookmark, highlight colours and a matching typeface (Aa, Match Theme). The text stays as readable as ever. Czech typesetting: short prepositions no longer hang at line ends, and words hyphenate even in books with their own styling. The widget starts your audiobook even when the app isn't running.
