Actually my batteries were already cycled down twice or three times... but yes, this was still with an older firmware.

I wouldn't mind doing that - but I fear this would break the batteries earlier. As far as I know about LiIon batteries, each charging cycle counts, no matter whether it's a complete or a partial one, and after a certain number of cycles, the batteries slowly die. Of course the batteries can be easily replaced, but I don't know whether the Cybook batteries are of any standard type or not (anyone?).
