Yes, it's definitely for the later Carta/8GB models. My inkBOOK has the specs to run the Icuras firmware (Carta+8GB), but I'm really only interested in trying (and risking bricking my device) if it is actually a good ROM.

I've seen complaints of battery drain on any firmware with Google Apps loaded, so I am definitely curious about the Icarus ROM, especially since all current shipping units have appear to that firmware loaded as evidenced here:
I would hope that a shipping ROM would not have a battery drain issue... but I suppose stranger things have happened in the world of tech.

Also, those older Icarus Pearl units are just 39.95€ right now... presumably with older firmware, but not a bad little deal for a hackable unit.

Right now, I'm just to doing the sideload thing for the Kindle app on my inkBOOK Onyx and using the built-in reader for EPUBs until I build up the courage to try the Icarus ROM.
