What a nice team! I just requested this feature recently, and you already implemented it, that's too fast!
Hope you can have iPad With Apple Pencil for EPUB files supported soon!
Thanks!!!

Enjoying this new functionality.
However, I've just noticed that the ePub reader toolbar differs from the PDF toolbar, in that it doesn't have all the tools and specifically the "area select" tool.

Is this "as designed"?

I'm running version 7.0.0-beta.39+ecba25be0 (64-bit) on Win10.

Thanks

@Lotus49: Yes, many EPUBs reflow, so annotations that depend on a specific layout don't make sense.

The epub reader is great news. I was wondering if it will support epubs with adobe DRM? Or is it only useful for epubs without drm? I guess most ebooks are still saddled with DRMs even when they are in the epub format.

@ashfamt: You can change the text size by resizing the bounding box. We may add an explicit font-size option in the future.

QUOTED---
Not sure I was missing something before, but it seems there is a new feature: going with the mouse over a note, the note text is displayed. This is a truly wonderful feature. ...but would it be possible to resize the window so that I can read the full note?

This does not happen for me. What version are you on?

I downloaded the beta a douple days ago

but i now see the question has been already answered. I cannot resize the box though.

These updates sound great! Another reason to love Zotero.

I would like to +1 the expand margins feature. I currently use the ios version to write annotations by hand and would appreciate and extra 1/2" on pdfs that import with narrow margins.

I'm playing with 7 on my MacBook, but have 6 for plugins on my Mini. Can't wait for plugin support to get rolling. I use a lot of OCR, citation counts, and file name fixers. Unfortunately, I think a lot of plugin writers hit final versions 2021/2022 with little left to add and might have moved on. Let's hoping they get some renewed life, because 7 has been running much more solid for me, whereas 6 will crash sometimes when adding citations, or completely die on bibliography on certain entries... I'm super ready for 7, because I have a few integrations with other services I'd like to get rolling but I want to land on a single version first.

Maybe some fine person out there will fork the most popular for 7 if the old dev is gone. ;)

Great work on 7 BTW. It was a lifesaver many times during 6 issues!

There are a number of comments here regarding margin size. I would like to present the problem from another perspective: line width. Lines that are too narrow make text difficult to read and so do lines that are too wide. It is often said that a paragraph of 50-70 characters width is optimal, but whatever it is one thing is certain: paragraph width is important for readability. The epub reader always fits the available width and reflows text (btw, the "Automatically Resize" button isn't removed from the toolbar, although it's useless for epub). The only way to tune line width (while keeping a comfortable font size) is to move the tab to its own window and resize the window. I believe that line width is a more desirable control than margin size, but any of them will improve on the current situation.

Out of curiosity, will the new annotation types have the ability to add them to an item's note with citations like highlighted text does?
Thanks!
