isn't calibre mainly an e-book manager. I too would like to get calibre running but only so I can manage my books for transfer to and from my n900 and PRS-600 e-book reader.

The current version of fbreader on N900 is 0.10.7-13. The link you provide has a ver 0.14.0-13
It is not clear from the fbeader website what changes are in that version. Could you give a brief summary and show your steps of how to install that devel version along with your keymapping solution?
you need to uninstall on the n900 the app and if I recall the associated library which will be the same version number, then reinstall the library (library name is in the link along with the fbreader app). If I recall the second most recent development version worked (whichever that was a month ago) but not the latest. again I am just using "stable".
after uninstalling the app and ?libzlibrary? (think that is the library name) simply click the links in the browser and it will give you the choice to install via application manager. do the library first.
keymapping are in the menu accessed at the top of the screen. If you take stable you have to hit the little dot on the right to go to that tab if you take a later development build you just scroll down. my mapping is as such (I find it very ergonomic)
comma key=decrease font
back arrow (upper right hand corner)=increase font
return key=previous page
move right key (bottom right)=next page
up key = scroll line up
down key = scrill line down
period key = previous toc item
left key = next toc item
L key = open library
space key = toggle full screen
P key = open toc
K key = cancel (for instance if viewing toc this will return you to current book)
O key = access options or preferences (again use K key to move back to book
Q key = quit
B key = open previous book
I repeated a few keys in the name of ergonomics
R key = prev page
T key = next page
E key = scroll up
D key = scroll down
W key = prev toc item
S key = next toc item
hope this helps...

*EDIT* There's also a separate lrfreader from the calibre package.

too bad nobody but me seems to want easy fedora. I do wonder if it would work on fedora (12) as that is I am pretty sure more updated (not in terms of packages but but in terms of being more recent) then debian lenny.

@extendedping,
libzlibrary v0.12.10-3 from the stable folder installation complains with libfribidi0 (>=0.10.4-5) dependency missing. How did you install yours?
Plus, are pdf files supported in one of the newest devel versions?

They advertise using Easy Debian on N900 one can access whole Debian apps whether x86 or not. This is one thing I don't understand exactly. How are they accessible without specifically compiled for the armel? Is this the chroot magic? Will the same be applied to Easy Fedora as well? Get it working in chroot and viola all Fedora apps are available in N900 -- therotically

pdf I dont know, didnt check. Honestly I remeber I had an issue initially wirh the install. I believe I either
a) uninstalled via apt with the ??purge?? option the library and then installed or
b) had to have the generic fbreader/library installed.Sorry I don't really recall the procedure.
Nokia-N900:~# dpkg -l |grep libzlibrary
ii libzlibrary 0.12.10-3 Platform-dependent part of fbreader
Nokia-N900:~#
Nokia-N900:~# dpkg -l |grep libfribidi*
ii libfribidi0 0.10.4-6 Free Implementation of the Unicode BiDi algorithm
Nokia-N900:~#
but as you can see it is in fact installed for me
