I would like to read that kind of books with my smartq V7 (I Ching coined :-) ).

I know plucker is a venerable format from the days when Palm was king. Just from my quick research, it seems to have gone the way of the dodo, as the world moved on to more open standards. IMHO, it's a good move since standards and open formats ensure availability of content as things progress. I loved iSilo, for example, but it's damned near impossible to convert these days.
As of right now, I think FBreader claims to read plucker files, though I have no way of testing it. You could also try "Golan." It's not in the Android Market, but the developer has a page on Google code. It hasn't seen any updates in quite a while, however. Sunrisexp has been EOL'd as well.
