HI All, I think maybe a better solution all round would be to open up the firmware (ala Linux). There are lots of clever people out there that would be able to add all the features that are required. Bookeen could then "vet" the changes and if they are up to release standards then could release the firmware on "their" site.
I actually think charging for firmware updates would be a no go to be honest. I know Apple do it but only because they have excellent and innovative user devices (I have an ipod and hate the bloody thing!!) that the mass seem to like (or think they need!). I actually think Apple on the only ones that I have come across that actually charge for firmware updates!! They can possibly do that at the moment when they are considers market leaders. When the competition stiffens up (as it surely must) things may well turn out differently.
Just my thoughts and I love my Cybook :-)
