A few weeks ago (mid may or so) FBReader started to crash every time I looked at the library (this is on my android tablet (Android 2.3). I found out it was the Bookshelf plugin. When removed it fixed the issue. But I really liked the functionality it added to FBReader. I can read without it, but I would really like to have it back.

The problem seems to be related to the ad system included with the plugin. There was a way to pay to have the ads removed, but since it crashes a second after I try to use the library, that is not possible now. From what I can tell, the ad system uses webview and something changed last month for several apps that used webview for advertising started crashing. Either upon startup or when a ad was to be displayed.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the whole thing (FBReader and plugin) to no avail. I am using a older version of FBReader 2.3 or 2.4 (not sure which at the moment) and not 2.6 which is the latest for the free version (which still works on Android 2.3) because I didn't like a couple of changes that were made. But that is not the root of my problem as I tried 2.6 and same crash occurs. All of the Apps and plugins are from the Google Play store.

I know the bookshelf is included with FBReader pro, but that requires android 4.0

Any thoughts on how I might get this working again? I tried contacting FBReader and no response. Like I said, I wouldn't mind paying to turn off the ads which would fix it, but I can't do that now since it crashes constantly.
