2. auto-lock during playback to support uninterrupted background playback of books
3. automatic start playback to automate playing of books loading in the Now Reading screen
4. automatic five-second rewind from the last reading position when returning to the Now Reading screen to resume playback
The release includes more than a dozen bug fixes that include:

· resuming paused books downloads
· issues with Sleep Timer when navigating from other parts of the app

Users should be able to update supported Android devices by Friday, September 9. If users have not automated BARD Mobile updates, they will need to go to the BARD Mobile entry in Google’s Play Store and enable the update. NLS recommends users enable the option to automate updates to ensure they receive timely updates. BARD Mobile users can confirm that they are running the latest version by checking the bottom of the app’s Settings screen. NLS plans to follow up quickly with a v1.4.6 release to address additional bug fixes.
