FBReader also reads DRM-free MOBI, but it has limitations of its own. It does not have bookmarks or dictionary lookup for example. Open Inkpot plans to add dictionary support to its FBReader implementation (it is already in the Sharp Zaurus version), so this is a possible add-on in the future. This would not be MOBI dictionaries unfortunately.

There are two FBReader versions on the iLiad, 0.8.4 is the full desktop version but with slow page turns (and now quite old) and 0.8.14 is FBReader implemented like a iLiad native app. So 0.8.14 is missing FBReader's built in library and many of its customization options (or the interface to modify them). There has been talk of getting the latest 0.10.? version working, but so far this isn't available as a stable port.
