Derek,

I agree with you 100% - it would be GREAT if Bookeen were to do that. I think, though, that they are extremely unlikely to do so if it would mean that people could get a "Gen3 clone" for a lot less money than buying a Gen3.

At present, though, it's perhaps OK to put the Gen3's firmware on a different device if you own a Gen3, but it's clearly not OK to do so if you don't own a Gen3, because you have no legal right to use that firmware. The only way to get a "legit" copy of the firmware is to buy a Gen3.
