Emm...

http://bookeen.com/specs/ebook-CybookGen3.aspx

That page says, and I quote...
Note: Adobe® ePUB/PDF Reader support can be available via firmware upgrade. Adobe and Mobipocket DRMs can not be supported at the same time.

And take a look at Adobe's page : http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/devices/
There is the Gen3 advertised as having ePub.

I dont know much about law, but I did manage to find this

Misleading, derogatory references etc.

Bookeen present at MobileRead meetup in Paris
Hello,

As you may know, we are on the verge to release our new Cybook Opus and will introduce it to the MobileRead community during their French meetup in Paris. There will be some hands-on demos and Bookeen people will be there to answer your questions.

In parallel, we will propose (in avant-première and during the meet-up) to Cybook GEN3 possessors to upgrade their devices with the - long awaited - new firmware.

So don't forget your Cybooks!
Did anybody do that ??
