2. Does someone know how to make FbReader default in reading ePubs? (I don't wanna long-press and select "open with" every time)
3. I've managed to install some new fonts. Now, does someone has themes for the 614?
If I think of some other things, I'm gonna update this thread.

1. You can't brick the device by installing software. The new software goes into a different file system than where the OS resides. So, you can play around with installing new software without worrying too much.
2. You can create the file /system/config/extensions.cfg in the internal file system and add lines to it that determine which applications are used to read files with certain extensions. The first application in the list is the default one. On my 623, I have the following line for epubs:
epub:@EPUB_file:1:AdobeViewer.app,fbreader.app
To make fbreader the default, I would replace that line with:
epub:@EPUB_file:1:fbreader.app,AdobeViewer.app
Both applications are still available with the "Open with..." menu item.
The names of the applications are important in the lines above. Some devices have different application names. If those don't work. you'll probably have to install some kind of terminal program and look inside the system default file at /ebrmain/config/extensions.cfg (which is not accessible via USB).
If you install coolreader, you will have to add it to the extensions.cfg file to use it from the Library tab. Search this group for extensions.cfg to see many posts on this topic.
3. I don't know anything about themes, so I'll leave that for someone else.
