Of course it's not possible to rule out the legal trouble theory entirely but there was nothing changed in the mobi DRM support so there is no visible foothold for Amazon to block the mobi firmware (addition of folder view, change font width with two dedicated buttons, these things don't infringe on Amazon territory). Bookeen can change the user interface all they want, if Amazon would have a say in the development of stuff not related to the mobipocket format und its DRM then that would not only be a uniquely limited contract no sane person would sign but it would also block the competition alike.
Or do you have any idea what could possibly Amazon's legal argument to block the firmware? Is there something I am missing?
