If that's the case, a hell of a lot of people are in the same boat. The Gen3 is using PVI's "reference platform" for its hardware, as are Hanlin, and a number of other eInk devices on the market. I strongly suspect that all the "internals" originate in the same factory somewhere, and that if the manufacturer is refusing to release the source code to Bookeen, the same is true for all the other licencees, too.
That doesn't make it "right", obviously.
