You may wish to read the information about the Opus on Bookeen's web site before jumping to conclusions .
But we all know how often installing firmware updates causes lockups on the Cybook Gen3. What evidence do we have that Bookeen has been smart enough to create a version of firmware that will boot/run from the SD card so that the user can keep the "original" version on the Opus and skip this problem? Hmmm...?

Of course, that would *also* be the best way to handle people who want an ePub version of the Gen3 now, wouldn't it? Bet that's not the way Bookeen handles it.
