Even if they did, legally they would be required to ask the users to revert back to the original firmware (even though they cannot enforce it they at least have to try or they would be at fault).

I can not offer any explanation for the Paris meeting firmware distribution, but I do does not debunk the legal dispute theory. For instance it might be that the agreement does allow a limited test distribution, that Bookeen tried a limited distribution to test Amazon's reaction, or that consent was obtained for this distribution.
