Version 4.8 sent to AppStore (Apple Pencil, more Calibre features)

[petrjahoda]

■ New features
- Apple Pencil on iPad. Drag it across words to select them. In Settings > Apple Pencil, Drag Across Text can highlight, look up or translate right away, and a double-tap or squeeze can turn the page. While Drag Across Text is on, swipe pages with your finger.
- Remove from In Progress. Press and hold a book to take it off the In Progress shelf without deleting it. It keeps its progress and comes back when you open it again.
- Search this chapter. Tap This Chapter above the search results in a book to search only the chapter you are reading.
- Reading speed by language. When your books come in more than one language, a menu on the Reading Speed card shows the speed for each one.
- Convert MOBI with Calibre. A MOBI or AZW3 book on your Calibre server now appears in Calibre Books with a Convert badge. Tap it, and Calibre makes an EPUB on the server, ready to sync.
- Update Calibre when you close a book. Turn on Send After Closing a Book in Calibre Mapping, and your progress goes to Calibre a few seconds after you close a book.
- Extra-large widgets. On iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, the Currently Reading and Reading Calendar widgets come in extra-large and tall extra-large sizes, now also on the iPhone Home Screen.

■ Improvements
- Japanese books written vertically now turn page by page from right to left, like a printed book.
- Reading speed now counts pages in EPUB books only, the same books its reading time comes from. If you read many PDFs or comics, it can be lower than before.
- A Grimmory book in several formats shows each one, and the format filter picks which file you download. BookOrbit books show a chip for each format.
- Calibre Books, Grimmory Books and BookOrbit Books leave the menus while their server can't be reached, instead of showing grayed out.
- Tap the lit star in a book's Details again to remove its rating.
- A Switch to lifetime topic in Help explains how to move from a subscription to the lifetime purchase. Subscribers also find it in the Home menu.

■ Fixes
- A picture as tall as the page no longer splits across two pages, and Invert Images now inverts all of it.
- Code in programming books is no longer centered line by line and keeps its indentation.
- The first highlight on a PDF page shows up right away.
- Text selected in a PDF stays marked while you pick a highlight color.
- On iOS 27, PDF pages no longer jump or shrink when you show the reader controls.
- Syncing books from Calibre no longer makes every library scan read your unopened Calibre books again and undo your edits to them.
- The average and trend on the Reading Speed card update again after you read.
- On iPad, the Library toolbar no longer lands on a second row under the tab bar after a cold launch.
- On iOS 27, reader and audiobook sheets in iPhone landscape no longer run off the top of the screen.

■ Localization
- All the new text is natively translated across all 18 supported languages.
