2023. Google Play Books app adds new book management feature



Google has introduced several improvements to its Google Play Books app - updated library management system to simplify organizing your book collection. For example, you can now handle multiple books simultaneously - add books to shelves, mark them as read or delete downloaded copies from devices. Users can now filter books by genre, author, reading age (especially useful for children's books) and family library status. These filters allow to quickly find the books you need based on your personal preferences. A new "Partially Completed" section has also been added, allowing users to easily organize their reading material. Furthermore, a convenient alphabetical index is now displayed on the right side of the shelves, making it easy to find specific books by author.
