You really don't believe that do you ?? There being two different firms, one German and one Swiss who both forget to put a format on a spec-sheet ? You know how those Swiss are

I tell you what I think is happening.
Bookeen never being able to penetrate the American market, due to the succes of the kindle, sees Sony opening up the German market right now. Desperate not to miss one of the the largest markets in europe they decide to follow Sony, which means e-pub.
By doing so they learn that mobi (read amazon) is not amused and therefore they (have to) drop mobi like a stone.
That's why we don't have the new firmware yet. I do hope the mobi-module and the e-pub-module are so independant that they can have two firmware-versions, one with mobi and one with e-pub. But I'm afraid bookeen is too small to pull that off.

This ofcourse is all speculation and I wouldn't be doing this if bookeen would just say what's happening... but since they don't I just do it for them
