Unfortunately, my phone has already updated to 8, but I seldom read on it, so duplicate books would be ok for me there, but I suspect not for others. Also, what a burden on chaley to maintain 2 versions.

Some points:
- The "can't pass file names" problem exists with Android 7 as well.
- I don't know how to handle the licensing problems that come with two distinct apps. Having an upgrade/exchange path or a single shared license seems hard.
- As this thread has shown, there are problems with running the current CC on Android 8, and probably Android 7 as well. If this is solved with two apps then given the shared license problem, someone with two devices, one Android 7 or better and the other Android 6 or lower, would need to buy two copies. I consider this unacceptable.
- The new version of CC will use the "pass file names" method on Android 6 and down.
Bottom line: I think I have two choices:
- Follow Google's rules and live with making the copies on Android 7 and higher.
- Abandon CC as it is, no more updates, probably making it free. At some point it will stop working. This will happen eventually as I get older and more cranky, but I think I have a few years left.
