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.

What they can say and what they can not say would depend on the non-disclosure language in the agreement. Regardless of the agreement it would probably not be advantageous for Bookeen to communicate that they are in a legal dispute with Amazon, which might turn customers and investors away. I can not recollect that Bookeen has given any reasons for the delay except from general remarks regarding “hoping” to able to deliver son and that they are “working” on it.
