Except for the faster processor and new memory, the 64MB and 512MB models were essentially the same. And as an S3C2410/2440 ARM is an ARM processor, they will run the same firmware.
Granted, *memory* constraints may well preclude shoving both ePub and Mobi support onto the older Gen3 at the same time, but the cpu won't be any problem. And even then, Bookeen could have just *delivered* what they promised, one firmware update that put on the Mobi update and one other firmware that changed the Gen3 to ePub - with a written warning (if it turns out this is the case) that the 64MB Gen3 couldn't handle ePub.
But Bookeen *isn't* doing this. Nope, they'r just a-sittin' in their Fortress of Solitude sneering down at the suckers who bought Cybooks before the 'Gold' model.
