I think it's rediculous to be forced to spend another E 250 just to get new software, as I have never spent that much money for software-updates
On the other hand - lots of new developments on the eReader-devices lately so it's probably better should I be a little patience and wait for the hands-on-experiences on these new devices the next 6 months
So I'll just finish the 70 books I already have on my CyBook Gen 3 untill that urge to get recent books on my eReader becomes too great. Till then the Gen3 IS working fine.

A month ago I bought the latest book by Joe Abercrombie (only available in ePub). It took me less than 5 minutes to strip it from its DRM and convert it to mobi.
I've read it the last month with great pleasure on my 'old' Gen3 (WITH dictionary support). Formatting was very good ePub -> mobi conversion works great in Calibre.
You really don't have to spend E 250 in order to read ePub books.
