Google has released a new version of their Google Play Books app for Android in the Play Store, bringing along a couple of new features that should improve your book reading experience. First up is the “Read Aloud” feature, which lets you listen to almost any text-heavy book, without needing any changes to be made to the books themselves in order to support the feature.

Google Play Books now also has the ability to pinch-zoom in order to zoom in or out in a book, and will also let you double-tap-zoom in books to automatically fit the text to screen. Users will also get personalized recommendations at the end of each book or a user’s library.

Here is the full list of what’s new in the update:

  • You can now listen to most flowing text books using the “Read aloud” feature.
  • You can now pinch-zoom or double-tap-zoom in all books.
  • All text editing features are available for notes.
  • Personalized recommendations are shown at the end of your library and at the end of the books.
  • Numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements are included.
