FBReader 4.0 beta 94 for Android

27th January 2025

This update focuses on refining the major improvement introduced in the beta 93: FBReader no longer requires “all files” access. The app now requests permission only for your designated library folders.

Key changes:

  • Fixed performance issues discovered in beta 93
  • Rolled back to the old file access method for older devices (Android 10 and below)

Important note: Books stored outside your library folders may temporarily become inaccessible. To regain access, you can manually grant permissions through the library view.

If no significant issues arise, we will release the first stable branch candidate (v3.8) later this week.
