There are about to be several EB-600 based devices released using standard Netronix firmware (Astak Mentor Lite, COOL-ER Classic and Elonex). It isn't yet clear if these will have folder support, but they will certainly have different DRM-free viewers than the Cybook in addition to mobile Adobe Digital Editions. Is it likely that firmware is interchangeable between EB-600's, as it is on Hanlin V3's for example? Early Gen3's were EB-100's, so this won't be an option for everyone. I'm sure that putting Bookeen firmware on a generic EB-600 would be a copyright violation, and I guess the same would be the case for generic Netronix software on a Gen3. The same is in principle the case with the Hanlin V3, but in that case no one seems bothered (copyright does not inherently restrict access, this is entirely up to the copyright holder).
