Well, Cybook internally has Linux installed. Certain number of programs run from firmware, but there's nothing that stops the Bookeen engineers to make other programs run from memory.

If the Adobe DRM reader is just am executable file, with instructions: "copy this file to main memory, and the Cybook will start supporting Adobe DRM", it will be just a typical software installation - won't it?

Edit: they could even ask Adobe to host this file on Adobe site, as "Acrobat Reader for Cybook".
