Microsoft has released another Windows 10 preview build, the third one in the last two weeks (after 15002 and 15007). The company has announced the roll out of build 15014 in the fast ring for PC and Mobile, introducing several new features and a ton of fixes to known issues.
Windows 10 preview build 15014 introduces e-books to the Windows Store. A few days ago an early look at the reported ebook part of Microsoft's Store was found and as expected the feature has been added to the latest Windows 10 preview build.
Insiders in the U.S. now have the ability to purchase e-books and read them with Microsoft Edge.
“After purchasing your e-books – you will find those in your Books library, which is a new hub entry in Microsoft Edge right next to your favorites, history, downloads and reading list. Windows Insiders in the US get to try out this experience today starting with this build and we expect to add more content over time”, says Dona Sakar, software engineer for Microsoft's Windows and Devices Group, in the blog post.
Self-cleaning recycle bin
Windows 10 preview build 15014 also brings a new way to save extra space when you're low on disk space. Microsoft has added a new option in the Storage Settings that Insiders can use to set-up a recycle bin auto-emptying schedule. This feature currently supports auto-emptying for unused temporary files and items that have been in your recycle bin for 30 days. “The option is off by default, but you can turn it on under System > Storage Settings and choose what it cleans up”, Microsoft says.The arrival of the power slider
Microsoft has also announced the introduction of a new power slider on select Windows 10 Devices. Some of Windows 10 Insiders will notice a new slider in the power fly-out on the Taskbar, while others won't. Sakar explains this decision: “We need Insiders giving feedback both on the new UI and on the “slider-less” UI, since many PCs receiving the Windows 10 Creators Update will continue to not have the slider.”
