Just to see if it'd do anything, I loaded a .prc of a Baen e-book (Mobibook format) onto a thumbdrive, plugged it in, and tried opening it. And it worked. The EEE's book reader just grabbed it and opened it with no fuss. It won't keep my place while it's on the jumpdrive, though, and I can't seem to get it to add to the library. Still, it's a start. And I will note that the reader will rotate the screen so you can hold it like a regular book.
Edit: Weird, copying files just uses "select icon, hit copy, move to desired directory, hit paste". And aha, adding the book to the library ran into a snag because the window ran off the bottom of the screen and the "okay" button was invisible.

The problem is that the new simpleui.rc expects the shortcut asus-eeepc-ebook.desktop to be available. No shortcut, no icon.
There is a FBReader.desktop file in /usr/share/applications - so a quick fix is to create a symbolic link to it. Open up a terminal and type:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/applications/FBReader.desktop /usr/share/applications/asus-eeepc-ebook.desktop
(all on one line)
Alternatively, you can edit simpleui.rc to use FBReader.desktop...
Restart X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) and the icon comes back.
