See Visual Tour of FBReader on a Pepper Pad 3. Some of this is out of date, but the Pepper Pad 3 also uses the standard Linux Desktop version of FBReader (like the DR1000).

It is possible to map "actions" to keys (Keys tab under the crossed tools icon). I don't know if the DR1000S has long and short key presses and if it distinguishes between the two up/down clusters, but you can experiment under the keys tab to see how many key options you have and take a look at the available actions.

Graphic support is very basic in FBReader. Currently, Image Scaling is in the plans for "versions 0.9.*".
