It's the same issue as the OnePlus one which is due to the cover image. Removing the cover image solves the issue.
At first I thought it was specific to OnePlus

The same issue is happening on OnePlus 7 Pro. Is there any solution in the works? As admittly easy deleting the cover for each book isn't ideal.

I remain stumped on this issue. I may just add a flag for you to set that will just not set the cover image in the notification, that is the reason for the crash.

Honestly that sounds like the best idea, just a toggle that switch the cover off or to like a default one (if that's doable without the issue repeating)
If i can help with troubleshooting or testing this let me know.

I'm hoping this attempt will fix it in v0.9.44-beta on the play store. Let me know!
