Yes, that was the idea

Absolutely. The Russian keyboard was added for the Russian users who are once again being snubbed by Sony. I don't use ebookdroid, but it is useful for those who like to read scanned DJVU copies. CoolReader on the other hand is a really great reading program (unless your native language is already supported by Sony, in which case perhaps you would want to stick with the Sony's Reader. Russian words are usually pretty long, and reading without hyphenation is considered inferior. Sony's software doesn't provide hyphenation support at all (other than in PDF).

md5sum for all files in updates and tmp directories should be listed in tmp/checksums. If you remove a file from there, you need to remove its checksum.

3.) There is a bug: when going to Settings/Accounts&sync, tapping "Add account" will crash the reader...
Unfortunately, something is missing in the Google Tools, so none of them work. I am kind of glad that the AutoSynch is not working, as it would have eaten the battery in hours instead of weeks, but it would have been nice to have some support for gmail, Calendar, etc. However, any background services should be disabled on the reader.

4.) I disabled wallpaper, settings/animations and set white background for the Launcher. IMO this should be default for eInk devices.
Yes, it should be.

5.) I'd like to set white background for menus, but don't know how yet.
Haven't found a way to do it. Android doesn't appear to be totally configurable.

6.) I removed Coolreader, but it is still present in Bar Shortcuts. When trying to remove it, Bar Shortcuts crashes.
I guess you should have removed it from Bar Shortcuts first, then uninstalled it... Or you can reinstall Bar Shortcuts, and select the apps you prefer to have there (instead of the ones I selected for you).
