What can Fbreader do the cybook can't anyway ?
It can read epubs, plucker, read directly from archives.

It got recently ported to a number of devices: irex, pocketbook, OI, now jetbook. This wide support gives a promise that it will be further developed. It's opensource, it isn't isolated and tied to a single device. Plus it would take some work load off bookeen's hands, because it's always easier to port existing code than to write something new from scratch, you said it yourself that they're short on manpower.
