Some people say it handles epubs better. JimStar, the guy who was the first to port the Coolreader did it:
1. to piss off the PocketBook developers (with whom he had a quarrel on Russian speaking forum The-ebook.org)
2. to taunt us (PocketBook readers owners) with a nifty app he wouldn't share
3. because he says it handles tables in epub documents better. ;-)
I *personally* like the way FBReader displays epubs. It throws away most of the formatting, so I can override formatting with my preferred font, justification ... The thing is, I read mostly fiction. If I wanted to read programming manual that relies on formatting of the text to convey information, that has lots of illustrations and tables I would definitely load my book to CoolReader to see if it is better than official PocketBook app.
Some people do not like the way FBReader throws away the formatting, and they also dislike the way the default epub reader on PocketBook makes text left justified and with annoying pagenumbers (that clash with text) on the right margin. For those people CoolReader might be very interesting choice.
CoolReader has sophisticated css files for individual file formats it handles in its config directory. I thing that modification of those files would let you to fine-tune the formatting of the displayed text. For me, this is the most interesting feature at the moment.
Even those early betas are quite usable for reading texts.
