eBook Support
Today we are excited to release full support for eBooks within Poly. That means that all your .epub, .mobi, and a laundry list of other file types are now first class citizens in your Poly drive. Here’s a look!
You can see pretty thumbnails, read the books within the Poly UI, search within those books, and even chat with the Poly agent about them, just as you would imagine with any other native format. Lots of people have large eBook collections, and we wanted to bring these collections into the modern era to make them even more useful! You could use Poly as your main eBook library manager, or you can just use it with your existing collection that’s stored offline.
We’re cooking some really big updates very soon, so this is going to be one of the last releases for a few weeks while we build something major!
Improvements
- If you have multiple audio or video files in your view at the same time (e.g. during a chat), we now automatically pause all other audios or videos when another is playing
- Video storyboards (the thumbnail elements) now persist when you go offline so you can still use them even if you lose internet connection
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where your cache connection was not fast forwarding correctly, causing you to not be able to reuse prior offline data
À la prochaine!
Join our Discord to share any bugs and requests, and give us your thoughts over coffee, virtually or in person.
Till next week!
