Google tweaks Play Books on Android

Google’s Play Books on Android gets few UI changes and new recommendation feature that’ll surely interest the bookworms out there. The Read Now section shows the recent books you’ve read in a horizontal carousel. It also shows a tiny progress bar to see how far you’ve read through a particular book. There are also Buy buttons underneath sample books you have on your device.

Aside from that, underneath the recommendations at the bottom of the screen, you’ll see a new section where Google can recommend books to you based on your reading preferences. And for graphic novel readers, the app also now has a fit-width option for full-screen horizontal viewing. Android Police also noticed a new setting that lets you save bookmarks, notes, and highlights in Google Drive. But this seems to be a work in progress at the moment.
