It will render most ebooks in a readable manner, but neglects some of the very pretty things one can do with the epub format.

Books that look great on my kobo reader don't look so good on fbreader.

The windows version of Adobe Digital Editions works fine for me in linux using wine, but that's not something I'd promise since I'm always tweaking wine and I don't always remember what I've done.
