It requires an API key for a compatible LLM or a local model connection, and follows last month's AI-generated ebook cover feature. The release also fixes bugs like Read Aloud stopping on large images, a spellcheck issue with single apostrophes, and a startup crash for users in Alberta after a timezone change, plus adds highlight styling options and cover grid customizations. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
