I think there is a big difference however : Bookeen's devices are not plagued with bugs like the DR1000s is !
Sure they also take their sweet time with their firmwares but their firmwas is mainly needed to ADD functionality whereas iRex's firmware is also needed to FIX bugs that make the device hard to use for MANY !
Frankly the DR1000s firmware state is still in Beta, even after being on the market for more than a year. I don't think we can say the same of Bookeen's devices.
So the "Everybody does it" argument is really an apple to pears comparison.
