See http://www.fbreader.org/. It does work with fb2 format. I use it on my Windows pc. Quote from their website:
" FBReader supports several e-book formats: oeb, epub, fb2. In future releases the list will be extended to support the same formats as the original FBReader. Direct reading from zip, tar and gzip archives is supported"
There is a version for Debian/Ubuntu, sources are also available. I had a quick look and saw that it can be built against qt for Ubuntu. I guess the problem is how to build it for a specific cpu target(s) (arm?). I've also seen some pointers to scratchbox tool chains for arm cpu. |
Okay nice, but just to clarify, I wasn't so much asking for file formats it supported, but file organization, since that was what your issue with Kindle is. Is it easy to manage files with FBReader?

I've compiled the Qt software platform for the Kindle... and I've written plugins for the e-ink display, the keyboard, and the fiveway.
Does he mean qt plugins? I am not sure, actually thinking of contacting him and asking for sources. |
Here is another guy that did some extensive hacking.
There is another guy, his name is Jesse Vincent (Mobileread username is jyavenard), that really hacked up the Kindle. He also ported calire natively to the Kindle (

home page)
Here is video where he is giving a presentation on some of his hacks and thought process. (
