Mobipocket Reader Desktop is now supporting the Cybook Gen3 for automated synchronization.

You can download a 6.1 pre-release from Mobipocket:
http://www.mobipocket.com/dev/beta/desktop.asp


From version 6.1, the Cybook Gen3 is recognized as a Mobipocket compliant device.
You don’t have to enter your PID. Your ebooks are automatically downloaded/transferred to the Cybook.
Additionally, you can import Office, Pdf, Html, Txt, Chm & Ocf documents.
And you can also synchronize the RSS feeds (eNews) you are subscribed to.

That's very good news. MobiPocket Desktop works beautifully with the iLiad; if it works as well with the CyBook it'll make it very pleasant to use.

Does as far as I can tell. Yes, I went ahead and downloaded it even though it's an alpha-test version. I plugged in my Cybook and Mobi DT immediately asked me if I wanted to transfer ebooks in my collection to the Cybook. I looked over the list and it only wanted to add the ones it didn't see there already, so I gave it permission. The transfer went smoothly.
