Sept. 22, 2023
Adjusted
-
[Document] Changed the highlight colors in PDFs by removing green, pink and blue, and only keeping yellow as the default highlight color.
Reason for this change: Due to the characteristics of E Ink devices and the fact that the majority of users tend to highlight text on these devices, excessive color selection may not be as effective in making differentiation obvious. We have been working hard to improve the ease-of-use and stability of our product. To achieve this, we have chosen to reduce the selection of highlight colors. Our aim is to provide users with an excellent text display experience that is both smooth and reliable.
