Re: ebook-reader permissions - no explanation given

Theo,

This is the manifest file: [snip]

which has the read storage permission, but not write or the phone
status permission.  Maybe the latter comes from some library it uses?

I was trying to figure out the legit reasons for the permissions.  They
could really be needed.

But yes, thats something thats also something to consider.  Third parties
which embed stuff neither the app-maker nor the user have asked for.

By the way: that ebook reader program you referred to which only asks for
read permissions - Is there an APK available of it ?  Maybe it already does
what I need from it.
