Another release is here! This time we have enabled a lot of new features and modifications for the Flash book reader. Things are getting better and better as we come up with new features each day to make reading online books, comics and magazines more fun and convenient.

You can now add other users as friends, put comments in their profiles and subscribe to others’ bookshelves to receive notification each time they upload a new book. You’ll have to watch your own account page for the notifications, though. Later you will be able to receive emails whenever your friends upload new books, so you can be sure that you won’t miss any interesting stuff.

Also, uploading books is a lot faster now, as you can save template of the book’s descriptions before pressing “Upload book” button to publish a book. This feature is super useful for anyone who wants to upload multiple books with the same description (most likely chapters from the same series).

Last but not least, did you notice that our Flash reader has changed a lot? Take a look at this screen-shot:

See the loading icon besides the full-screen button? It indicates that the other pages are being loaded so that after you finish with the current page, next pages are ready for you to read. After all pages of the book have been loaded, that icon will disappear. Neat, huh? Just wait, there will be more coming up next week; probably something you can embed into your own sites or blogs.

Summer is coming. Have fun people!

Hello! You can now select the following options for your books before uploading them as well as modifying later in ‘My account’ page:

• Set as “private” : private books cannot be found by other users through any search result, related book suggestion or the Bookshelf (Profile) of the users who uploaded those contents. If you want to read a private book, you’ll have to know the link of it. If you have uploaded some books that you only want to share with certain people, set them as “private”.
• Set as “not suitable for everyone” : if you have uploaded some books that have certain amount of mature content or might offense someone (but are not really violating MahShelf terms of use)…  set them as “not suitable for everyone”. When other users open these books, they will be notified with a warning message and required to Confirm that they really want to read the books regardless of the consequences.
• Disable commenting : Don’t want others commenting on your books? Chose this option.
• Disable rating : Don’t want others rating your books? Choose this option.

Some of you might have noticed the change of our ‘Flash reader’ recently. Indeed, we are testing the new reading application, which will make it most pleasant for you to read digital comics and books online. Summer is here! Have fun everybody
