We’re planning to roll out some improvements to the interface this summer, which will include converting the reading lists to HTML5 and improving support for mobile devices via progressive enhancement.
On a desktop browser or large screen mobile device (e.g. an iPad), a reading list might look like this:
…whilst the same list on a smaller device (e.g. an iPhone) will optimise itself for a narrow screen width by hiding icons and book cover images:
As well as the improvements to the interface, we’ve also been optimising the back-end MyReading code to improve performance, particularly for larger lists (200+ items).
If all goes well, we’re aiming to roll out the new interface in early July.
