Bookeen is a OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture). They went to Mobipocket and bought a license to make a reader using their drm tech. They probably paid money up front and a royalty to every device they sell for the license. Mobipocket tells them how to decrypt the drm'd files and Bookeen builds software for the reader with that know how.

What I would like for Bookeen to do is do the same thing for other drm like adobe digital editions and then sell the software to then be able to read those files. This is fair since Bookeen has to pay the drm tech owner and should see a profit for their extra work to make the software for the other type of ebook. It would be neat if they sold the cybook cheaper with no drm reading software or you could choose to have several types of drm formats supported for extra cost. This would appeal to the people that have other ebook formats or just want to read the drm free formats.
