- ** Full Screen ** - Our most requested feature from users, the ability to use 100% of your screen real estate, putting all other distractions and non-functional features away until you need them, with a quick mouse over!
- ** Archive ** - Not using a book anymore? Now you can easily archive a book by simply dragging and dropping, or go into the Book Info page. Of course you can easily Un-archive a book just as easily.
- ** Course Icons ** - We pre-loaded icons that you can assign to your NOOKstudy courses to give your NOOKstudy a more customizable feel, and visual cues to access your courses faster and more efficiently.
- ** Library: Grid View ** - Tired of scrolling through the long list of books in your library? Now we've added a Grid View which gives you all the same functionality, but with a new look to help you visually find you book quicker.
- ** Unlimited Copy/Print Allowance on DRM-free Books & Side-Loaded Content ** - You'll now enjoy unlimited Copy/Print Allowance for DRM-free books.
- ** Improved Scrolling ** - Users will see improved performance when using the mouse scroll wheel.
- ** Notes Window Pane ** - Can now be docked or floating, and automatically adjusts to floating if application is resized below favorable reading dimensions.
- ** Sync Notes from Imported Documents ** - We now are syncing your notes from user imported documents, so you can access them on a second computer.
- ** Improved Application Stability ** - Continued efforts to tighten up the nuts and bolts under the hood
I complain because I care. :-) My next class doesn't have an etextbook available, so I'm back to paper for now.
