I tried it anyway ;-)
No self-respecting hacker would pass up an opportunity to try out new version, especially if it is marked as unsuitable for general population.
I tried to increase the font size using up/down buttons and I managed to get font size to 2147483647 (0x7FFFFFFF).
After that, the program kept crashing. Even when I replaced it with working 0.9.2, it kept crashing, until I edited .../system/config/fbreader.cfg and set font sizes to sane values.

Please note, the above isn't a complaint, it is a bug report, a warning to other users and description of what said users can do when they ignore the warnings and the device keeps crashing.

programming is much more fun if you know that one cleverly placed bug can make tens of thousands devices crash .
This is why so many people want to work for Microsoft, or why Linux kernel contributors have such a high social status.
