Fixes and improvements for library partners

In close collaboration with our library partners, version 11.04 update includes these fixes:

  • Legimus: streaming fix in EasyReader Android App
    We have made a potential fix for streaming DAISY books from Legimus on EasyReader Android. This may also affect streaming DAISY from other library partners.
     
  • Éole: download fix
    We made a fix for being able to download a certain book type from the Éole library.
     
  • Sugamya Pustakalaya: download fix
    We have added support for downloading the ePUB type 'Structured ePUB without Proofreading'.
     
  • No text visible in some ePUBs
    We have made a fix for the issue that meant some ePUBS were not displaying content in the reader view.    

Additional improvements and fixes

EasyReader App version 11.04 also introduces:

  • MS OneDrive fix
    For EasyReader Premium users, a fix has been introduced to provide access to files and documents using business Microsoft accounts.
     
  • Screen Reader issues with link backs in some DAISY books
    Some DAISY books are using so-called 'link backs' and a bug was introduced recently that caused screen readers to announce a link at each element. This is now fixed.   
     
  • Plus, additional fixes and improvements to enhance your experience.
