I have verified that the bug is not already awaiting release

Yes

What was the Problem?

App crahes on playback of downloaded media if device loses connection.

If uku have a downloaded file you expect abs to play it without problem even if the phone is offline

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Download a book
Make sure device is still connected to the internet
Start playback of the book
Switch on flight mode
Playback will continue for a few minutes and when crash

What was Expected?

If you switch of the internet connection the playback of streamed media should stop but the app should not crash and if the media is downloaded the playback should work without issue after switching on and off flight mode as it plays local files and needs the internet only to sync progress.
