@DMcCunney: I have the same "jump to the middle" experience on my tablet (Xubuntu 9.10). My desktop (Xubuntu 9.04) doesn't seem to have that problem.
Generally, FBReader is okay, but still doesn't support CSS or bookmarks. So the books have a simple sameness, and cannot be used to mark edits.
But, boy!, they added another format that can be read! Whoopie.
Now, I know that there are supporters of the "one app to read them all" ideology. That's cool, and I can see the functionality. I'm in the "one small app per format" camp -- and do it excellently (see Aldiko). I'm of a mind that most people have one or two formats that they stick with. I think FBReader is stuck trying to force all their additional formats into their FB2 model of display. It works, but it's weak tea.
The network integration is good, and is getting a lot of focus. I hope they don't drift into "we added another feed" mentality.
I wish there were another lightweight reader for Linux. Maybe there'd be some competition. I hear a lot about CoolReader, but cannot find a binary for Ubuntu. Is there one?
