It is somewhat painful to use, although much better than the one that
came with the 770.

This is weird. I can select both memory cards in the file selector.
Have you done anything strange, like formatting the external card as
ext2?

I think you could create a symlink, e.g.
cd ~/MyDocs
ln -s /media/mmc1 'External Card'

If you're reading in full-screen mode, you can also press the area on
the middle of the right side of the screen. There are translucent buttons
that show up when you display a new page and then fade out, to give you
a hint of where to press. They work even when invisible.
If you're reading in non-full-screen mode, there are toolbar buttons for
going to the next/previous page.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

If you install Evince, I suspect you'll have an entirely new set of
problems. Last time I tried it, it became unusable after viewing about
three pages because it used up all my memory. It was a long time ago
and maybe someone optimized it for low-memory devices, but I wouldn't
hold my breath.
