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.
