Neither of them should be showing up as an app in the app drawer. You need to put the executables to system/bin and then edit system/config/extensions.cfg file (create it if it doesn't exist) to associate the applications with some files.
Here is what you need to add to your extensions.cfg to be able to open cbr and cbz comic books with pbimageviewer:
Code:
zip:@ZIP_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
cbz:@ZIP_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
rar:@RAR_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
cbr:@RAR_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
tar:@TAR_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
tar.gz:@TAR_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
tgz:@TAR_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
tar.bz2:@TAR_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
tbz2:@TAR_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JP
And here is what you need to add to be able to use Cool Reader to read mobi and epub books:
Code:
epub:@EPUB_file:1:fbreader.app,cr3-pb.app,AdobeViewer.app:ICON_EPUB
txt:@Text_file:1:fbreader.app,cr3-pb.app:ICON_TXT
fb2:@FB2_file:1:fbreader.app,cr3-pb.app:ICON_FB2

cr3-pb.app is the executable file you placed in system/bin. After editing extensions.cfg and copying all the other files to the right folders, you can go to the book library on the ereader, press and hold your finger on some book to bring up the context menu and then choose Open with -> cr3-pb.

Done. Will try again.

The amount of work required us fricking ridiculous.

New files are showing up in my library, so I guess it at least partially worked.

pbimageviewer kept freezing on me, although it did work to a limited degree.

And FBReader decided that all of my Epub ebooks should be centered rather tan left aligned, so i restored the cfg file to the original and then changed a couple settings so CoolReader was given priority for a couple formats.

After playing with CoolReader for a few hours, I like the Adobe Viewer over CoolReader.
