Harry,

While I can appreciate your view, I think many who've spent their wads on no-longer-updated devices are probably a bit leery of spending Yet Another Bucket of Cash on another device which might, itself, soon be abandoned for newer products. Some people are made out of money and others aren't so fortunate.

I don't know whether this is the case for Ebook Lover, but I sure wish Bookeen would acknowledge the capability for these older units to run the current generation of Boo Reader and start marketing an 'update firmware' for them. It would make the owners of these older units happy; it would put money in Bookeen's accounts and it *WOULD* generate some very strong Goodwill towards Bookeen for doing so.
