It will be interesting to know for sure once devices are launched, Wolf.

During the MobileRead RendezVous we discuss with the bookeen's guy that where here, and it seems that the Opus design (and the old one that PocketBook presented a few month ago) was designed and payed by Bookeen for theire own use only. So they said that if any other one will sell a device with the same design of the old (the presented one by PocketBook) and new opus (the one we see at the RendezVous) they will be sued by Bookeen since they didn't have the right to use this design, even if the color is different. It's not the same thing as the Gen3 where the design was not exclusive to Bookeen
