Netronix is selling the EB-600 to more and more companies (Astak, COOL-ER, Elonex), so it is clear that the basic hardware in the Gen3 will likely be around for years to come. This is in a way surprising, given its age, but it is a proven design and it seems to be at a sweet spot on the price/capability curve for EInk readers. That is not to say that Bookeen isn't working on a more capable 6" device (they probably are), but in the near term all we know is that the 5" Opus is "on the verge" of being released.
