The final Firmware update should come in a few weeks.

So we could imagine that Booken having to provide E-Pub support on April 30 and no later for Weltbild could have decided to focus on this customer first and release a firmware on time but without all the features (eg. Mobipocket suppport), and this could have delayed the final firmware version release...
(Translation from Bookeen-speak-to-English) It should be available sometime shortly before their 1st-gen Gen3 purchasers die of old age.
