find an unmarked attachment points on the main PCB
solder wires to the attachment points using very thin wires and special soldering iron. A lead free solder is a must here!
install following software on your PC
- cygwin
- complete Embeded Debian sources
- croscompiller for ARM processor
- Perl programming language
- Python programming language
Make yourself familiar with the above languages, plus of course shell language, makefile language and, of course, the C language, so you can edit the scripts setting options for programs you are about to
- patch
- configure
- compile
- run through linker
- manually copy to the device using hacked terminal connection.
Oh! Wait!
We are not talking about Kindle or Sony Reader here, are we?
Forget all of the above mentioned stuff.
Here are the real steps:
- Connect the device to PC using the supplied USB cable
- download an application from
http://pocketbook-free.sourceforge.net/en/index.shtml
- unzip an application
- copy *.app file into /system/bin directory you see when you connect the reader into your PC
- disconnect your PocketBook from PC properly
- go to Main menu, select option Games. Here is your application.
You can also install improved FBReader made by SciFiFan (
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65865 )
Simply copy it to /system/bin directory and PocketBook will automagically use the new version
(because the /mnt/ext2/system/bin (or whatever) directory is located before /bin or /usr/bin directory in the $PATH system variable on PocketBook 
)
