Thanks to our friends from Teleread.org for informing us (http://www.teleread.org/blog/2005_02_06_archive.html#110803554421487542) that Bookeen is going to release a downloadable firmware upgrade for its Cybook (http://www.bookeen.com/Cybook/Default.aspx?selectionm=0) e-book reader next month. The upgrade adds support for the eReader e-book format, plus adds a reader for displaying unencrypted PDF files.

Bookeen is also considering adding support for the Microsoft Reader format (.LIT) in future.
