More reliable audiobook progress
Logging listening time now advances audiobook progress even when you do not enter a current minute, making time-only sessions count toward the book you are reading.

See community ratings for each edition
Book search and detail pages now show anonymous community rating averages grouped by ISBN, so scores reflect the specific edition.

Plan what’s up next and track rereads
Mark a book as Up next to keep it close at hand on your dashboard, and record dates for each time you reread a book.
