BTW, not to belittle the great job Adam has done getting it ported in the first place, but FBreader for the DR1000s isn't exactly well integrated yet, nor kept up to date much. I've been meaning to look into that if no one else (*hint* iRex *hint*) beats me to it, but currently I'm a bit stuck with trying to port a more recent version of evince with support for more than just djvu (but that's material for another thread).
I think iRex is focusing on the core functionality of their own software at this point, and not worrying about supporting 3rd party applications (which is probably a good thing). There may be a time down the road when their firmware is more mature and they start looking at things like official integration of FBReader, but I don't think they're in that position yet.
