FBReader is a very good program, free too, for a very important application, mobile eBook-reading. It handles a good, useful selection of eBook formats though the support for some popular formats is missing.

It is really irritating to see that tremendous but stupid amount of different eBook formats. Why so? It cannot be useful but makes the everyday life more complicated.

And now again: FBReader uses a new format, .fb2 as the default format. Looking at Memoware eBook site which is a huge, free bookstore and has excellent specs about the formats tied with the eBook in question. But no trace about .fb2 (stands for Fiction Book 2.) And if I remember correct, I have never seen the .fb2 format at other eBook libraries too. So, where are the .fb2 eBooks?

Well, very nice reader but what is behind of using a brand new format as the default format? Is it better or what?
