BookSmart 1.9.4 is here. We took five months to pound on it and polish it so that you’ll experience an overall improvement in performance and stability. It’s faster, more robust, and brings the quality of our bookmaking application to the next level.
You’ll also see that it handles text better. Much better. It doesn’t matter if your book is text-heavy or captions-only, you’re going to notice progress when it comes to working with text. There are some new creative elements too – like more collage layouts and hand-illustrated backgrounds. Get the details in our blog or go straight for the download.
