Forum: texts Subject: bookreader shows a blank, black screen again

Almost a year to the day since this last happened, again I have a blank, black screen, using an older android tablet to try to read a book I borrowed. (Black pane in bookreader with no controls or pages visible.)

I am also getting the black screen for bookreader when I try to look at books that are available to borrow. The screen looks normal on always-available/out-of-copyright books.

I have tried reloading and cycling power on the tablet, and waiting two days.

This time, I get the normal screen on my laptop for my borrowed book, so I can still finish the book, but it's a lot easier to read on the tablet.

Edit: The android version is 5.0.1
Whatever change was made recently has destroyed my ability to borrow and read books on it.
