Best case senario : it does noting.
Worse case senario : it does someting and brick your cybook.

Ok, the booken cybook update is 5,4MB and the elonex is only 3,8K... no, working...

That's not real problem.
The cybook firmware will handle the update. It will recognise only cybook updates properly. So there a big likehood the the cybook won't detect the firmware. And even if it does, the elonex update code will assume that the current firmware is the elonex one, and that eventually get weirdo result.

And hardware changes , even small, can cause bugs.

Just look inside the zip file, and you will see that this is not an upgrade but only some sort of "back to factory setting" thing. And this thing can work only on Netronix software, so if you want to play, you may use it on a Cooler or any other Netronix Software based device
