They're not updating it because they're basically re-writing it.

Hopefully they'll put in more features this time. Personally, I'm hoping for better font support. I reformat most of my ebooks into PDFs just so that I can set the font.

I don't have much use for bookmarks, but lots of people have been asking them about it in the past, so hopefully that'll be in there too. I don't think we're going to know until they release it though. I tried to get them to drop a hint about whether the new framework will be part of the next software release, or if it's still going to be down the road a while, but didn't get a response.
