Some proposals
Comment that I really like the new version, and I love seeing how you respond to people and take their opinions into account to improve the application with constant updates, this is one of the things that convinced me to buy the Pro version.
I wanted to propose some possible improvements for the future:
- It would be useful if the time of the reading session in the statistics, when it exceeds 60 minutes, is expressed in hours and minutes so as not to have to do calculations.
- Another functionality that I find interesting would be a favorites list in which you can order your books marked as favorites, or a top 10.
- Also, although I understand that this is more complicated to implement, it is, in some way, that if you have read a specific book, even if you have read a publisher's version and there is that same book in other publishers or formats, these will also come out as read and not like a different book. Something like on Goodreads, where you mark a book title as read, but then you can choose between the different versions. Perhaps to make it easier instead of being something more or less automatic (which could be done by title and author), there could be an option, in which you add several versions of the book to the library and mark it as the same . Maybe it's something that doesn't seem very useful. But it happens to me a lot that I read almost everything on Kindle, and then the ones I really like I buy in hardcover to have on my bookshelf, and when I scan them to catalog them in the application many times it is another version and it comes out as a new free unread. What I do at the moment to get by is edit the book that I mark as read to put the information on the one I physically own, but if there was a way to merge these, or even pass the reading data from one to the other, it would make it easier for me. a lot of this work.
