Your suggestion makes sense.
I can totally picture Amazon going to court over this as, depending on the exact wording, they could choose an interpretation of the contract where having two different firmwares with different DRM systems on the samed device would not be permitted. After that it's a lawyer battle and Amazon clearly has the bigger guns in this department.

But I think Bookeen should be able to say that the firmware release has been delayed due to legal concerns, even if they can't give details.
