In case I want to read a file format that the builtin reader of the device already reads (html, mobi) I am wondering what reader does people think it is better to use: the builtin one or fbreader?

I am concerning about issues like:
1. Comparing the battery consumption (anybody knows?)
2. As far as I have seen fbreader in the DR1000S does not support dictionaries, while the builtin one does.
3. What font makes easier the readeing in the fbreader program? On the other hand, in the buitin reader we cannot change the font (only the size).

But I am sure there are more drawbacks (of each of them) that I do not know about. Which ones?
