I would suggest, however, that before installing the firmware on a different machine, that it would be prudent for people to contact Bookeen and ascertain whether or not their software licence permits them to do so. I have a suspicion (but I may, of course, be incorrect) that it does not.

I've always felt that software licenses have no place on my hardware. I didn't agree to any software license. I dont' feel any such should stand in the way of my full use of my hardware. All too often, the software license is used to restrict my hardware purchase.
