Open eBook Reader is a .NET/WPF based Open Source eBook Reader app by Oscar Arrivi that as of this moment is focused in supporting the Fiction Book 2.0 file format. But that according to the description of the project it plans to support the most used eBook file formats too later on:

I do hope that is just the case,as it would make this app quite interesting as a way to have a good universal eBook reader app around. Right now the app is in beta state but a update could follow shortly.

Looks cool. I'm using VitalSource Bookshelf but only b/c that's what my school has us use. This one looks kind of bland. Did you try it out?

There is a new version 1.0.1 already available.
I hope it means an application with many releases.
