One difference is that IReX and Bookeen and Pepper (PepperPad 3) all apparently did their own "ports" of the basic Java Reader to their devices. If you ask MobiPocket for support - they redirect you to the device vendor. Another reason why MobiPocket may not want to make the Java version available to everyone is that it provides a mechanism to crack their DRM.
