New FBReader Premium (for Android) distribution strategy coming soon.
Currently, the only legal way to get the Premium is to buy and download it from the Google Play. This makes Premium unavailable for devices with no Google Play.
The new scheme makes the app available from three sources.
a) Google Play (for a fee)
b) Huawei App Gallery (for a fee)
c) https://fbreader.org site (the package would be downloadable for free)
If your Android includes Google Services, and does not include App Gallery, you have to pay via Google Play to run Premium. Vice versa, if the device has App Gallery only, you have to pay via the Huawei store. If both are installed, you can select. Finally, if your device misses both, you can run the Premium for free.
The bad news is that if you have paid via Google Play, and switched to a pure Huawei device, you have to pay again.
We reserve the right to add more stores to this scheme in the future.

FBReader 3.1 beta 30 brings two fixes:
1) Reading aloud is stable again. We finished the major UI change. Following updates will bring new features, including manual text substitutions and text-to-speech for PDFs.
2) There was an issue with downloading files with names longer than 255 bytes. Fixed.
The beta is already downloadable from our site, the Google Play release is on its way. An update for the stable version, named 3.0.31, will be released tomorrow. The only change is the long file name fix.
