Is there any way FB Reader could open books from outside of the application? With the stylus calibration being so poor, I'm having a difficult time hitting the books and expanding and contracting the pluses/minuses in the library page.

So far as I know, no one has looked in detail at the DR font setup. The actual setup is typically defined in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. If it is configured like the iLiad (i.e. like most Linux systems) user-supplied fonts can go in the directory ~/.fonts and the text file ~/.fonts.conf would define where else they can go (e.g. on the SD card). These files do not seem to exist. If more fonts were installed on the DR1000S, FBReader would be able to see and use them.
Access to the MOBI dictionaries is not available. However, some device-specific variants of FBReader do support dictionary lookup (so the needed "hooks" are there) and the existing DR1000S version should allow selecting text which might be manually exportable to the MOBI dictionary. I also wonder if a small DR1000S app could provide simple stand-alone access to the dictionary and eventually allow integration of the dictionary into FBReader.
