I know working with the file system and system files of the iLiad is scary to some people (okay, most people). So I setup a safe standalone package for FBReader (See this thread if you missed out) that requires no file system modifications. The downside to this approach, is that you won't be able to open documents in FBReader directly from the contentlister.

The first time you click the icon, it will automatically copy some iLiad specific settings to the /home/root/ directory, and launch the program.

For SD/MMC Users, Download: http://projects.mobileread.com/iliad...ndalonemmc.zip

For Compact Flash (CF) Users, Download: http://projects.mobileread.com/iliad...andalonecf.zip

The 'fbread' folder will need to be put in the root of your memory card. Simply unzip, run, and enjoy.
