Netflix-for-books app Oyster today got a visual refresh to bring its library of more than 1 million titles closer to users’ purviews. The redesign focuses primarily on the app’s Home tab, adding larger mosaics of book covers to highlight recommended titles based on what the user has been reading and when they’re accessing the app. In the new Home, in place of the “Spotlight” carousel, users will now see covers of books they’re currently reading, followed by recommended reading lists, such as Popular, New Releases and New York Times Bestsellers.

Microsoft has given Upload Studio, the Xbox One’s built-in video editing suite, a welcome update. The overhaul adds the ability to splice together your game recordings to create shows of up to 30 minutes. It also introduces text overlays, effects and transitions. The most potentially cool of the new effects is the ability to put yourself into your videos using Kinect. Microsoft says the ‘green screen effects’ will work without an actual green screen as the camera can pick you out from the background.
