Google is currently rolling out an update to their Play Books app used for ereading that brings some changes designed to make it easier to use when challenged by formatting issues. These issues can crop up for users when they need to adjust things like zoom levels or scroll settings only to lose them when switching titles. The new 3.6 version of Play Books will remember a user’s options. Google also indicates in their change log that this new version was built against the Android “M” SDK, so the app should be ready when Marshmallow starts to hit devices.

For “tap to scroll” users can set this option so that a tap near the right or left edges of the screen will move the reader through content. Users may find simple taps much easier to deal with rather than swiping the screen, especially when enjoying a long book. This behavior has been standard for image-based books like comics or books that have been scanned. The new update now makes it available for “fixed layout” books like how-to books or recipe books.

The other new setting users will find is “Remember zoom” which puts an end to the app resetting the zoom level every time a user would move to a new page. Users often found this annoying after they had zoomed in on some text only to be faced with tiny text once they went to the next page.

If you do not want to wait for this latest update to be available for your account through the Play Store, you can download and sideload the APK. Just hit the link below to get started.
