Over the past 2 months, we’ve received a lot of requests for more content and more catalogs. Today we are thrilled to announce that we have partnered with Smashwords to bring their large catalog of free and paid content to Aldiko. Once you get the update, go to the ‘Download Books’ section and you’ll be able to browse Smashwords’ extensive selection of exciting fiction and non-fiction works from independent publishers and self-published authors.
Along with the new catalog, we also added a couple of new features over the past few weeks:
- Change the cover art of a book (long press the book in the bookshelf view to bring up the context menu)
- Open images in a separate viewer upon long press
- Backward/forward functions allow you to go back to where you were before clicking a link to a different section of the book
- Conveniently open links with a short tap gesture
- Options to turn pages with volume keys
We will continue to add more catalogs and features. If there is something that you’d like to see, we would love to know. Tell us here or send an email to feedbacks@aldiko.com.
Happy Reading!
