UI Refinements:
• Settings: Panel Mode settings renamed, and now feature a turtle and a hare, as universal representations of fast and slow.
• Settings: Certain settings now hide, if a setting they are dependent on is disabled.
• Store: Thumbs now feature a white border and a soft drop shadow. General UI improvements.
• Book: Manual Page flipping (swiping) is MUCH smoother now.
• Book: When entering Panel Mode, the Navigation bar now fades our after a moment. A single tap anywhere on the page brings it back.
• Book: "Panel Mode" button in the upper right has been renamed and now has 2 states: "Pages", while in Panel Mode, and "Panels" while in manual mode.
Changes:
• Cutting the fat: "Full Page at Start" and "Full Page at End" settings removed.
• "Enter In Panel Mode" now on by default. This can be disabled in the Settings.
• "Double Tap To Hide" the page picker now on by default. A single tap on a page will select the page. A double tap will select the page and hide the page picker at the same time. This too can be disabled in the Settings.
Bug Fixes:
• Canceling a purchase should no longer result in a stuck "QUEUED" buy button.

• Entering a Store Book Preview with "Enter in Panel Mode" enabled will no longer enable Panel Mode.
• Quartz drop shadows are no longer reversed in OS 3.2+ (iPad included)
• App now has the proper splash screen (with tabs along the bottom).
• Menu spinner should now only be enabled during network transactions.
• The display should never go to sleep while in auto panel mode.
• Message of the Day should now ONLY appear when you are on the My Books tab, and no longer while reading books.

FEATURE DETAILS:
1 • Download Resuming. ( Downloads now resume automatically on next launch, if interrupted )
2 • MultiTasking Support. ( In iOS4, on an iPhone 3GS or newer, the app remains active in the background, and downloads even continue to chug away. )
3 • App-Wide Retina Display Support for iPhone 4 ( iPhone4 users will notice that the entire UI is twice as sharp! )
4 • Book Versioning. ( If changes are made to a book, it will now display an "Update" button. A single tap, and it will begin to download and install the update. )
5 • New Setting: "Auto-Play on Enter". ( If enabled, the book will immediately begin to play out the moment you enter it. )
6 • New Book Info: Runtime. ( Book Info now displays the Runtime, from start to finish, of each book, based on your current Transition and Reading Speed settings. Ex: 26 minutes 32 seconds )
7 • [ You Own It ] Buy Button State. ( Deleted books now display an "You Own It" button in the Book Store, rather than the price tag. This better communicates that you do not have to re-purchase deleted books. )
9 • Unique Downloading / Updating Cell Appearance. ( The "Glass" Book Cells that are downloading, or require an update now have a "Tilted" 3d appearance to them, to distinguish them from installed / up-to-date books )
10 • Dynamic Collection Sizes. ( Collection totals are now gathered from the server on launch and stored locally, so you know exactly where you stand with your digital collections )
11 • Mixed Panel Orientation Support. ( Books may now support mixed panel orientations. You will see this featured in several books, shortly. )
