You nailed it - copyright laws are utter nonsense, but we HAVE to obey them, despite their nonsesnseness. Still.

If you would sell Bookeen to me, I'd have legal right to sue you, as you did not provide written offer for source code and written GPL license text with the device, nor the source code by request. And your only possibly move would be to sue Cybook, as they did not provide it either.
