I would unhappy if the ePub firmware shows up "mid next year". But i don't think that's what gonna happen.

Well, Bookeen certainly had nothing to say about the reasons but it's a little tricky to come up with good reason why implementing folder view (which has already been coded months ago as it's in the "beta") into the mobi version could take so long. ePub is a completely new feature so it is natural that there are some serious bugs initially which can take some time to get fixed.
You have told us several times that Bookeen is, in fact, trying to get a "universal firmware" done which is the same for all devices and comes in two flavours: mobi or ePub. As I fail to see how the addition of folder view into the existing mobi firmware could be botched that badly as to take half a year (and counting) longer than expected I rather wager that the problems are with the ePub version...
Until the Paris meeting I would have explained the delay with "they haven't started yet..." Now that the folder view is finished and "beta" users didn't report serious flaws, I don't know what - besides their vision of a unified FW aka simultanuous release - could impede immediate release of the mobi version
