Howdy.
As I promised, I implemented the simple GUI launcher. it can be obtained there:
https://github.com/varnie/HackedUpReaderLauncher
Simple instructions are also provided.
As for libfreetype library issue I am kinda confused. I hope I didn't mess anything up. If I remember correctly, I didn't put my own built one to the Kindle file system.
In any case, here's which one I have there on this moment:

I can confirm HackedUpReader works well with this one.
And I am running 5.0.4 official firmware if it matters.
So, for those who would like to attempt my approach, here are some brief instructions:
- download the archive from https://github.com/varnie/HackedUpReader/downloads and extract it directly into /mnt/us/cr3xcb
- follow the instructions for my simple GUI Launcher extension: https://github.com/varnie/HackedUpReaderLauncher
- now you should be able to invoke HackedUpReader from the Launcher menu
ps: I've uploaded several screenshots.
