(Can't have it sent direct here because the import duty I'd have to pay would be higher than the price of the Cybook). If I order it today, I would have .prc support regardless of whether or not the rumours are true. Then I just wouldn't upgrade the firmware when a new version is ready.

Opinions please.

I think ordering it now and relying on DRM-infected format that might not be supported in the future by your reader maker is a big mistake. If you really want to read drm-infected mobipocket format no matter what, then find a different ebook reader.
However, I would advice and wait. No one knows whether mobipocket support is going to be dropped.
Wait untill they announce the new firmware update.
