I understand that this is not an official Gen3 forum, but we need to know that.

I have version 1.0 firmware, but that firmware has a lot of bugs (powering off with book opened does not saves state, new fonts recognition problem, SD file system corruptions...)
Go for it. Write to Bookeen and ask. Between you and tompe we hope to see results!

Personally, I'd love to get the sdk/source for the OS they use. I don't particularly need to see the source to their Boo Reader as that *IS* proprietary and they've been developing since long before the Gen3 - but to be able to develop other apps that run on the Cybook, yeah I'd like that.
