That's my suspicion, anyway. What do you think?

I do not think you have the moral right to use the software in the Cybook even if you bought it because of the GPL issue.
If you buy something you can sign a contract promising things. I am not sure exactly what you can sign away according to laws. But in this case why do you assume that the firmware is bought? There are links in this forum were you can download the firmware without saying you accept any conditions. Or you can get the firmware from a friend. So legally you can use it.
