This is precisely the philosophy behind FBReader. Many of us were under whelmed by Adam B.'s heroic efforts to fully integrate FBReader into the iLiad scheme of things (prefering FBReader's standard interface), but
Integrated FBReader 0.8.14 with ePub and Registry Support is open source code that works exactly like "standard" iLiad software and iRex could bundle it with their releases. Adam did not change the registration of HTML and TXT files to FBReader, but this package will likely provide a much improved experience for these filetypes than the current rudimentary support. It is also better than the MobiPocket Reader for DRM-free MOBI files (e.g. it supports different fonts). In fact, since iRex has a licence for MOBI DRM, they could bundle a binary-only version of FBReader with DRM-support and get rid MobiPocket's poorly supported Reader completely.
