Yes, the convenience can be compelling. The big win for me was support for Plucker documents and Mobipocket files. It meant I could put it on my notebook running Linux and put a copy of my ebook library from my PDA on it. I have about 3,200 Plucker volumes, so this was a big win.
I'm fascinated by the fact that FBReader was originally created for handhelds, and support for Windows and Linux desktops is experimental.
The Java version for Android looks quite interesting, and might just become the basis for other versions, too.
