[Prospect]

Would it be possible that the excessive delays in the release of the new firmware and Bookeen's strange behaviour in this regards is due to some kind of legal dispute with Amazon? We know that Bookeen has taken on some restrictive covenants to get access to the Mobipocket reader, for instance not to put another DRM system on the same reader. For all we know there might be limitations further limitations and such limitations might be the base for a legal dispute. If there is a dispute regarding such issues the timeline for resolving such dispute would be hard to determine for Bookeen and might explain that the release have taken so long time.

This would also explain Bookeen’s lack of communication as a consequence of confidentiality covenants in the license agreement with Amazon (Mobipocket) and not that Bookeen is lightly retarded when it comes to PR.
