Yes, that's perfectly true, and has been attested to by a number of device manufacturers.

(Bookeen had to release a new device when they wanted to add ePub support, instead of adding it to their existing Cybook product.)

Not quite right. What Bookeen have actually done is to develop two alternate firmware versions for their CyBook range of reading devices, one of which supports Mobi DRM, and the other Adobe DRM for ePub and PDF. You can download and install whichever of these firmware versions that you wish, or even switch between them (it takes about 5 minutes to reflash the device).
