It is not the first time that I see FBReader modified to work as main reader in a device.
But what happens is, the authors of FBReader for some reason had adopted a policy that makes the software very inclined to send data on the Internet. (In fact, to use a recent version and be reasonably confident that it does not misbehave I had to cripple it.)

Are we sure that the version embedded in the Icarus/Boyue does not send data around?
It is the Pro version, if that helps. I am sure the FBReader folks are making money on this and don't need ads.
