It does make the code base slightly smaller, as well as saves one entire BIT in both memory and storage, not to make it optional.

I tend to avoid companies who take the "we know how you want to use this better than you do" approach. Apple is bad about that, I curse at iTunes on a regular basis and hate to update it because they like to remove features, but I can't get smart playlists in anything else that work as well.
It's pretty stupid nowadays to act that way though, and especially for reading where
everyone reads better in different ways (font selection, font size, left aligned/full aligned, black on white, white on black, black on brown, etc.) Cutting out options is basically telling part of your potential customers you hate them and they should go elsewhere.

The lesson is back up before upgrading if you can. I know on paid apps without rooting you can't on Newer Android devices and they now are blocking older ones too. I find some apps backup on Gingerbread wont work on KitKat and vice versa.

Oh God, TuneIn Radio Pro's latest versions are just
HIDEOUS. They should shoot whoever thought that radio stations should be treated like social media. I also use an older version pre-social-crappified. Hell, they even though it was smart to not make it possible to exit the app when they first redesigned. Then people were utterly outraged and they quickly backtracked and added that back in.
At least they listen though, I installed CameraZoom on my new Galaxy S4 and it won't work. I E-mailed support (I have a
paid version of the app, not free) and they never replied. Guess what developer I'll never buy anything from ever again?
Back on topic, I have to say the Scribd app looks worse in the screenshots of the new version than it did before.
