This build has our full ePubs v2 feature -- 10x+ better performance on books, a dedicated long-form reading UI, and so much more. Our goal is to have Reader be the best app in the world for reading books (in addition to other formats), and this project is a big step towards that :)

We completely rewrote the PDF Clean View feature, which allows you to read, highlight, and listen to PDFs as if they’re any other responsive document. A much cleaner and nicer way to read your PDFs, on any screen size.

This build also introduces e-ink mode, much faster initial document loading (for all types of documents), and much more.

Previously:

This version has improved displays, better advancing, highlight fixes & more!

Improved TTS Experience — Andrew fixed a bug where skipping 15 seconds at the end returned the audio to the beginning and pausing caused flickering. Artem replaced newlines with spaces to prevent problematic pauses.

Fixed PDF Highlights — You can now properly delete PDF highlights on mobile, thanks to Arek fixing a bug that made highlights silently duplicate.

Fixed Animation Display — Thanks to Artem, more page animations can be disabled.

Fixed Highlight Handles — Highlights now have complete handles and proper underlines, thanks to Artem's tweaks.

Fixed Category Logic — Tadek fixed a minor bug in the category logic for Reader, which in some rare cases could lead to documents not parsing properly.

Fixed Auto-Advance — On web, deleting the current document or using the shortlist keybinding now properly advances to the next document when auto-advance is on, thanks to Scott. (This fix will be coming to the mobile app soon.)

Fixed Image Viewing — Image data is now properly reset when images are closed, thanks to Andrew. Now, gestures like zooming and changing positions will not affect the next image.

iOS Custom Icons — Arek added new iOS 18 icons, enabling improved dark mode and tint mode variants for a gorgeous monochrome home screen. Navigate to Account → Change Icon to check out the options!

Better TTS Voices — Try out the new (v8 beta) voices for Text to Speech which are the most lifelike yet! These voices should now be the default in Reader if you haven't selected your own preferred voice. We also fixed crackling/distortion in the new voices.

Improved Performance — We updated one of the core libraries that Reader is built on, which has made the app measurably faster! Johannes made some speed improvements to scrolling, so navigating your your document lists should feel much smoother now. Artem also removed some code that could prevent documents from loading in some rare cases.

Improved Youtube viewing — We improved the transcript tracking/autoscrolling for youtube videos, and now automatically enhance the transcripts for most videos so they're easily highlightable. You will see a much clearer error message when viewing YouTube videos while offline.

Summaries in List View — We now display the summary and document title/favicon in the mobile actions sheet: just long press any document in a list to get a quick peak at a document's summary without having to open it.

Discover Documents — Mati built an easy way to bulk add some of Reader’s most popular documents directly to your account, hand-curated by our Wisereads editor Abi.

Export Everything — Thanks to Piotr, Reader's "Export PDFs and EPUBs" feature has been reworked to "Export full files and articles" which not only exports your uploaded files but also all of your Reader document HTMLs.

So many bug fixes — to tags, the Omnivore import, Youtube AI transcript enhancement, ghostreader summaries, loading states (no more flickering when new documents are imported), progress bars, text-to-speech, and more!

UI Improvements — The front matter (top header, buttons, etc) in the document view got a big redesign, with the summary showing in a toggle view above the document content. It’s now easier to start TTS from anywhere within the document — check out the new play button in the top right. The option to change appearance is now in the bottom sheet. Excessively long metadata is now truncated, Ghostreader summaries can be about twice as long, and emails look a lot nicer in the Daily Digest.

Improved Performance — Mitch, Tristan and Hannes upgraded our database, which means Reader now runs faster and more reliably.

On mobile, you will see a much clearer error message when viewing YouTube videos while offline.'

New Summaries in List View — We now display the summary and document title/favicon in the mobile actions sheet: just long press any document from a list view (like “Later” or your Feed) to get a quick peak at a document's summary without having to open it.

So many bug fixes — Fixes to tags, the Omnivore import, Youtube AI transcript enhancement, ghostreader summaries, loading states (no more flickering when new documents are imported), progress bars, text-to-speech (TTS), parsing (for Bluesky and unherd.com), and much much more!

UI Improvements — The front matter (top header, buttons, etc) in the document view got a big redesign courtesy of Kris and Johannes, with the summary showing in a toggle view above the document content. It’s now easier to start TTS from anywhere within the document — check out the new play button in the top right. The option to change appearance is now in the bottom sheet. Excessively long metadata is now truncated, Ghostreader summaries can be about twice as long, and emails look a lot nicer in the Daily Digest.

Discover Documents — Mati built an easy way to bulk add some of Reader’s most popular documents directly to your account, hand-curated by our Wisereads editor Abi.

Export Everything — Thanks to Piotr, Reader's "Export PDFs and EPUBs" feature has been reworked to "Export full files and articles" which not only exports your uploaded files but also all of your Reader document HTMLs. Reader's public document list API now has a new html_content response data field enabled via the withHtmlContent query param. The Reader API also properly returns updated metadata instead of the original metadata.
