I guess that these works for both the iLiad and their own reader.

According to :

http://www.lesechos.fr/epaper/faq/faq-machine.htm

Quel type de format de fichier le e-Reader Les Echos accepte-t-il ?
Le e-Reader Les Echos accepte le format propriétaire STK.
Vous transformerez facilement vos documents Word, PDF, TXT ou HTML dans le format de STK, en utilisant le logiciel STK Maker fourni.

Which I would translate :

Which ebook formats are supported by the Les Echos e-Reader ?
- The Les Echos e-Reader supports the STK proprietary format. You can
easily convert your Word, PDF, TXT or HTML files to STK, using the included
STK Maker software.

So, well, no MOBIPOCKET for this one, they are only for the iRex which
is sold at a very interesting price, 769E including 1 year subscription to
Les Echos instead of 649E for the STAREBOOK-with-vizplex ganaxa
reader - also inc. 1y sub -.

So, buying an iRex with Les Echos, you only pay 114E for one year sub
to this newspaper instead of 365E (e-newspaper without reader) or
416E (dead tree newspaper). Of course it's only interesting for
french-speaking people, but I think it's quite cool for quebecois since for
the first time they'll be able to read French newspaper the day they are
released!

Hey, isn't STK this strange fomat that's used in the STAReBOOK? If yes, they might be using the same firmware ...

Some publishers, other than Les Echos, in Europe and Canada, will release cheaper content packages on the Ganaxa platform, along with the Ganaxa GeR2 reader, very soon.

Ganaxa has a specific XML based format, especially made to take advantage of the electronic ink and paper. You will see the amazing uses some publishers are making of it. It will be published as soon as it is stabilized, and is used today for publishers or press projects.
It has an interesting multiple protection scheme.
