Here's the English version they sent out, for those whose Babel-glish is a bit rusty.
Quote:
The launch of Bookeen's awaited Cybook Gen3 ebook reading device has been delayed until October 2007. We have already delivered several engineering samples and are making slight adjustments in the final steps of mass production.
As a benefit, the PDF format will be supported on the Cybook Gen3 directly with the first product release. We are using this delay to enhance our software offer. PDF support was a major step for Bookeen and was planned as being part of a next upgrade. The new timing allows us to have PDF up and running for the release.
For its first release, the Cybook Gen3 will support encrypted Mobipocket ebooks and display HTML, Text, PalmDoc and finally PDF files. A new version of the Mobipocket reader for desktop will be also released in the next weeks by Mobipocket.com. This new program, which runs on a PC host, will detect and synchronize automatically with the Cybook Gen3. Buying, downloading and transferring an ebook file to the Cybook Gen3 becomes a child's game.
In parallel, Bookeen has opened its own corporate blog to provide hot news and start discussions. We really see this blog as a place to exchange and communicate with the ebook community. It will also be the place to get some hints and insider information about Bookeen developments. To illustrate this credo, a first video clip showing off the Cybook Gen3 in action has been released on the blog.

I find it amusing to compare the two.
There's a new thread to discuss these developments
here, if anyone wishes to hop over.
