Geneven, how would you rate it compared to FBReader, Ionic or eReader? I'm interested in a list of the pros and cons of each of these applications if somebody already has experience with them. Otherwise I'll give them all a try and make my own opinion, but it may take months before I really read long enough texts on all four apps.

Well, it only allows you to read Kindle books, basically, so if you don't have Kindle books, it has no advantage over other readers.
I later discovered that you have to be online at the beginning of any session to read any book you have downloaded. When
it is authenticated, you can keep reading the book forever as long as
you keep Firestarter open.

(maybe it was the harmattan sdk repository?).

It is somewhat difficult to hit some of the buttons on the top, such as search, but that is a small quibble.
So far, I've downloaded Steven King's 11/22/63 and Phillip Kerr's A Quiet Flame -- and that's just the beginning.
