@Chaley: Did you change the number of "last read" books to display? I'm viewing 6 now, instead of 5. Apart from that, it works great on my Nexus 7, Note 4 and S3 with the increased cover size.

@chaley,
The new widgets look fantastic on both GNote3 and GTabPro. I love that they are fully resizeable and the covers will expand/contract (to a degree) depending on how many "cells" you can afford to devote to them on the Home screen. Just a personal opinion but I have not found a widget in any other book app which looks/works better on either of my devices. Regarding the shortcut: on both my devices the CC version is now the same height as those from the other reading apps. I also have 6 books in all 3 widgets, but don't have any problem with Buy-5-get-1-free ETA: Forgot to mention that 'Handle "portrait - expand to fill" cover mode when creating thumbs' is working fine.

On a more serious vein, does having 6 instead of 5 books change anything for the worse? If so, I can reduce it to 4. I can even go back to 5 and just accept that that one thumb will be lonely. |

A limit, I feel, would be best. I have no issues with a count of 6 to round matters.
And as to the matter of Mantano, still no further crashes as of yet. I still hold to the belief that it would have more to do with Mantano though. |

I have to confess to not being sure how to test either of these. I'm not a calibre News user. Maybe one of the other beta-testers can oblige. |

I have tested auto-connect by setting up an auto-connect and seeing if it happens at the right time . It does. Unfortunately that doesn't determine whether the feature satisfies the need. I have queries the two people who asked for it to see if either or both would be interesting in joining the beta program to try it. Quote:

Just to be explicit: I want to thank all of you who have commented on the widgets and the shortcuts. The feature is better for it. Your time isn't free, and I greatly appreciate your spending it to help me improve CC.

The widgets look great and I see the "last opened" has been implemented. For folks that don't know you might want to add in your description that the widgets are resizable.

@chaley,
Back to widgets for a moment. I've just been updating CC on my husband's Galaxy Note 1 (Android 4.0.4). If I long-press Home screen then select Widgets I get a "horizontal scrolling ribbon" of available widgets to select from along the bottom of the screen. I don't see any of the 3 CC entries in there. Is this what you would expect? The shortcut option does work OK. |

Not having any idea how the ribbon works, I don't know what I must do (if anything) to make the widgets appear there. Widgets are supposed to be available on any device running android 4.0.1 or better: API level 14. Android 4.0.4 is API level 15, so it should work. |

FYI: I just discovered that once you turn it on you can't turn it off without unchecking the option then rebooting your device. I will fix that. |
