It's a matter of minutes to integrate new viewer into PRS+ (well, actually into any custom firmware). And it would also work with all Sony's bells and whistles (goto, bookmark etc) out of the box. All that viewers do is render the actual text page, links, status bar etc is done in ECMAScript.

PRS+ already integrates igorsk's hack, that allows launching external executables. DicitonaryCL starts "grep" every time you perform search. "Browse Folders" calls "mount /umount" etc.
