That's strange, as all people know is that Bookeen is a French company. It doesn't mean its employees are French... probably at least the company owner needs to have French nationality to start a company in France, but it doesn't mean that person had to be French from birth, so I don't know why people make such assumptions.

"Professional secrecy" is understandable when it comes to the secrets of the trade, things that could be easily repeated by competition if disclosed, but the way to write firmwares in this particular business is rather well understood. I believe Bookeen can disclose much more about their development, the problems with it and the resons for delays without giving any information that could help the competition, and that "professional secrecy" is not the reason for their silence.

I may be mistaken here, but I remember they promised to disclose the summary of features that will be available in a new firmware on Monday, not the firmware itself. That summary was released on August 27 on their blog.
