I think he meant the difference between Cybook and Opus. As there are significant technical differences I highly doubt that there will be a single FW for Cybook AND Opus.
Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt that that is what you heard and that your source is also convinced of what they heard but there have been a few rumours around which turned out to be false.
One version for two devices which are sufficiently different is more work than it's worth. It means you can't integrate new functions into the Opus if that would make the FW too large for the Cybook. It also means for every tiny bug you eliminate on the Opus you have to do an entire testing cycle also for the Cybook (you never know if it accidentally breaks something there) even though nothing has been changed there.
It's a hideous work for no economical gain, so I very much doubt that this rumour can be substantiated.
