Description
RedReader aggressively caches images, and crashes occur when a device runs out of storage space.
When the disk fills up, or the app starts and less than 128MB of storage is available:
- Delete any cached images
- Disable image precaching
- Set to delete cached images after 1 hour (or sooner)
- Display a message to that effect
Also: Display an error message specific to the lack of storage when a download fails.
Other suggestions would be welcome.

Research direction
Start by locating the image-cache and precaching entry points, the app-start storage check, and download failure handling. Done means low-storage conditions no longer crash the app, cached images are removed, precaching is disabled, expiry is shortened, and users see storage-specific messages.
