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?
It depends on what you need to do. HTML support should be better in FBReader, Mobipocket depends on the features you're looking for.

1. Battery life should be the same.
2. Correct.
3. Not sure. That's more likely a personal preference.
