[Bookreader] FBReader

[Samuel Klein]

Sayamindu --

Sweet.  How easy would it be to add this as a new reader-type to Read?

Regarding mime-types, let's revisit making one-click reading from
Browse work as expected (add item to journal, launch new activity to
open it).  Michael says this is possible under the current rainbow
implementation.
