If you want to use another app to open your books you have to set it as the first one in extensions.cfg.
Example:


Here's the recommended FW5 extensions.cfg for coolreader: github.com

Cool! Somebody seems to be listening to the rant about being able to select the preferred reader.

I just noticed in fw5.7.515 in
"SETTINGS/Personalize/Default reader for ePUB" you can choose you preferred ePub reader. Which is very nice because if you for instance select coolreader, it runs a straight forward script
Pocket626/system/config/settings/default_coolreader.app

#!/bin/sh

extensions=/mnt/ext1/system/config/extensions.cfg
cr3binpath=/mnt/ext1/system/bin
reader1=AdobeViewer.app
reader2=fbreader.app
reader3=cr3-pb.app
reader4=epubinfo.app

if [ -f $extensions ] ; then
        if [ -f $cr3binpath/$reader3 ] ; then
                sed -i "s/^epub:.*/epub:@EPUB_file:1:$reader3,$reader1,$reader2,$reader4:ICON_EPUB/" $extensions
        else
                sed -i "s/^epub:.*/epub:@EPUB_file:1:$reader1,$reader2,$reader4:ICON_EPUB/" $extensions
        fi
else
        if [ -f $cr3binpath/$reader3 ] ; then
                echo "epub:@EPUB_file:1:$reader3,$reader1,$reader2,$reader4:ICON_EPUB/" > $extensions
        else
                echo "epub:@EPUB_file:1:$reader1,$reader2,$reader4:ICON_EPUB/" > $extensions
        fi
fi
sync

So this in an interface to run an arbitrary script in the settings. The settings menu seems to be controlled by default_reader.json you can add your own entry there:

+       },
+       {
+               "control_type":"executable",
+               "icon_id":"ci_panel_config",
+               "id":"just_testing",
+               "storage":[
+                       "/mnt/ext1/system/config/settings/just_testing.app"
+               ],
+               "title_id":"@Just_Testing",
        }
! ]

I just love open software!
