General improvements (#164)

* Optimized PDF tile rendering performance and quality.

* Added support for adjusting TTS voice speed and pitch.

* Updated the TTS settings UI and playback logic to support real-time parameter adjustments.

* Added horizontal scrolling to the PDF viewer bottom toolbar and updated tool arrangement to use fixed spacing.

* Refined cross-page selection and text extraction in `PaginatedReader`

* Updated EPUB reader styling logic to refine typography and layout controls.

* Bump version to 1.0.42(43)
