Who would buy it? Perhaps someone who wants excellent ePub support. Bookeen seem to have pretty much the best ePub implementation around at present.
By whose standards? I *have* a Cybook Gen3 and I do *NOT* have *ANY* ePub support - nor do I have the promised-for-more-than-a-year folder management support. Oh! Right! I have to shell out for a brand-new unit to get that!

Well, I still don't have decent folder management, nor do I have direct ePub support, but with my brand-spanking-new Kindle 2 I have a quality device that is simple to use and is worth having.

Of course, if I simply *must* have ePub support, I could always sell my older Gen3 and buy a Nook.
