FBReader

[DJCrashdummy]

FBReader is an ebook reader for different platforms... and the Android version was even FOSS until a few years ago.
beside publishing their (paid) app via the usual stores, they also provide APKs on their website: https://fbreader.org/android#download

i guess it is a straight forward HTML download (at the time of writing: https://fbreader.org/static/packages/android/FBReaderFree-3.8.22.apk)... but i'm not sure how to do it right, that even updates will work properly in the future. beside that, if it would be added to the "complex app catalogue", others can also benefit from it.

perhaps also the 3 plugins listed below the app may be worth a look... 🤔

well... i tried to modify the json file of some other apps which provide a HTTP download and make it work for FBReader (org.geometerplus.zlibrary.ui.android.json), but i got no luck.
somehow i immediately get - even if just checking for updates - an "unexpected error": "SocketException: Connection reset by peer (OS Error: Connection reset by peer, errno = 104), address = fbreader.org, port 48660"

You can try these configs. This json includes all 5 APKs, download and import into Obtainium.

awesome! they work like a charm, although i haven't tested the "premium version" (com.fbreader). thank you very much @DarkCrypt!

@DarkCrypt do you plan to open a pull request to add these apps?
