FBReader would need several enhancements including: a) dictionary, b) bookmarks/scribbles, c) style sheets. Note that FBReader already has dictionary support on a few platforms. The "framework" argument works for FBReader too, add dictionary support or scribbles and these are available for 12 ebook formats and counting. There is also the advantage that you don't have to develop on the iLiad.
The FBReader developers were originally opposed to adding PDF support, but they listened to their users and now their
Electronic Book Formats page says:

pdf This format is not supported. Files in this format may contain just text as well as image representation of pages. We plan to include PDF support in FBReader: first support for files that are using text only.

DonRobodroid's time to market point is also in favor of FBReader, particularly if it was originally released without PDF support.
