My apologies wrt Read. The newer versions of Read won't work with 0.82 - and I think it would be best if v56 is used for 8.2.x releases. v56 was actually released specifically for 8.2.1 and bundles a thoroughly updated evince/libpoppler/djvu stack (I backported the code from F-11 and included it in the activity bundle itself) and it fixes a number of crashers in the underlying evince library for non PDF files (mostly with djvu files). The disadvantage is that EPUB files are not supported in Read v56, but I you can use FBReader activity for that instead.
