Library
We redesigned the library and organized into swim lanes. We have added a Collections folder and an Options menu that enables you to filter the library view. We also replaced the Inside the Book feature with a search field that you can use to locate a book by title, VBID or author. You can also perform a content search for a keyword across all downloaded books in your library.

Creating a Highlight and Note
In addition to a design update, we simplified the process for making a highlight. Select the text and click the highlighter from the context menu. To change the color of a previously made highlight, click on the highlighted text and select a new color. Notes can be added to a highlight using the context menu or the notebook panel.
