Well, I can understand why someone who downloads thousands of pirated books in FB2 format might prefer this firmware, as FB2 is the preferred format for Russian "online libraries". Or someone who is a stickler for Russian hyphenation rules (Russian words tend to be longer than English ones, so many people would prefer to read with hyphenation). "But what's in it for you, a person from Madrid?", I want to ask. You actually convert books from EPUB and LRF to FB2? So that they look better on the reader? And you don't know of any ways to make LRF or EPUB look better on the reader? Like the EPUB CSS hack that let's you choose your own fonts for EPUB? Or embedding fonts into LRF files, which can be done with Calibre?

BTW, may I ask, what software do you use to convert LRF into FB2?
