Simple Choice Activities: We’ve added two new activities that you can add to your books. Just enter the correct answer in the first box. When someone reads the book, Bloom will shuffle the answers. These are Choose Word from Picture and Choose Picture from Word
Smarter Splitter: We heard you: getting image and text boxes to just the right size was too hard. We’ve made the splitter smart in a couple of ways: 1) You can now double-click the splitter to make it snap to the position used by the previous page. 2) The splitter now “snaps” to some common locations such as 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, etc.
Fixed Layout ePUBs: Bloom can now create ePUBs in “Fixed” mode which asks ePUB players to preserve the page as you see it in Bloom. If you have a very simple book, Bloom will also let you choose the previous “Flowable” mode. With this improvement, you can now publish overlay (comic) books as ePUBs.
Color Chooser: We improved the color chooser and made the same chooser available everywhere you can set a color, including text, background colors in the overlay tool, and cover colors.
Text Color in Styles: You can now set color as part of a style definition. As before, you can also color individual words and letters.
“Needs Copyright” Button: We’ve noticed that sometimes people forget to add a copyright, which later prevents them from publishing the book to BloomLibrary.org. Now Bloom shows a button on the Credits page to prompt you.
Overlay Tool: We’ve added a new Bubble shape, “Rectangular”. You can now click on the background image in order to change it. If a bubble somehow ends up off-screen, Bloom will move it back on screen the next time it loads the page. (Note that a Bloom Enterprise subscription is required to add new Overlay (comic) images to a book.)
