The compagnie that we speak HERE has ONLY "promise" a futur ePub support nothing else. In fact they never really promise the ePub support, they just says that they will support ePub. They never say "on the 1th of may you all will have ePub on your Cybook Gen3"
There is a lot of reason to delay a release, and I doubt that Bookeen love to delay it and leave people angry with this.
If you really work in a software/hardware company you should know what is a blocking bug and how it can delay something, they can even sometimes completly block a project without anything to do against it.
With latest batch of Gen3 we saw a lot of problem, it seems that bookeen have some problem with this batch, due to hardware or software I don't know, but I'm sure they work on this, and this will prevent them to release a new version of the firmware with a 99.99999% warranty that it will not brick nearly all Gen3 on the market, and we saw some time ago that they prepare a new device, that I think will share a lot with the Gen3, but it will take them some unexpected time to do the software for. Knowing their manpower it's not surprising that they could be overloaded.
