It goes without saying that from time to time, companies would update their fair share of apps online in order to bring them up to speed, and to make them relevant with the rest of the industry, and for the users as well. It seems that Google Play Books for Android has just been updated, and to make sure that your eBook reading experience will be more parallel to that of reading actual paper-based books, this update allows you to skim through eBooks now.
If you feel the need to actually go back by a few pages in order to refer to something, or you would like to come up with some sort of temporary bookmark using your finger while you read the pages ahead, those are now translated to Google Play Books for Android. These used to be extremely tough to handle with eBooks in the past, and it does not matter too much if you happen to be reading a book page by page, all the way from the beginning to the end.
With the likes of cookbooks, textbooks, language learning books and other non-fiction material which requires you to reference other pages to double check something, that can be rather challenging with an eBook. This redesign of Google Play Books for Android allows skimming, skipping, and letting you read things at random without following a set number of pages, now how about that?
