1- It's still not in a stable state, so it's probably not advisable to install it for non-moderately-tech-savvy people.
2- It's not ported to the Cybook, so it improves nothing over Bookeen's firmware: you cannot use it.
3- The main advantage is that it is an open and actively developped platform. If you find a problem or want a feature you can kindly ask and it will at least be heard, or you can implement it yourself. More immediate advantages are: support for more formats (ePub, LIT, rtf, are good candidates), possibility of adjusting some parameters (margins, line spacing), folder support, etc. Another advantage is the possibility of using the same software in different readers.
