PDF reading now feels like the rest of StoryBoat, with floating controls for page navigation, playback, voice selection, locate, and sharing. New: - Open PDFs in the same focused reader experience as EPUB, TXT, and Markdown, while keeping the original page layout intact. Improved: - Reader playback controls now share one consistent floating design across books, long text, and PDFs. - The listening bubble has a clear close action and stays hidden while the active book is already open. Fixed: - TTS background prefetch avoids unsafe app-state reads, improving stability during long listening sessions and background transitions.

• Importing books is free again — no accidental membership prompt. • Lower memory use for very large books, fixing possible crashes when opening them. • Fixed the tab bar not hiding in the reader, and renamed titles now display consistently across the app.
