Andrew,

Interresting.  Though I have a problem with grasping how 
"READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" doesn't superceede the "READ_MEDIA_*" permissions.

I can understand those READ_MEDIA_* permissions though.  EPUB books are just 
HTML files zipped up.

Thanks for the testing.  It looks like the app does have all its (major) 
permissions listed.

Question : what do you have running (OS, apps) that all those permissions 
are automatically revoked ?
