response from Bookeen on Blog
Today i decided to ask Bookeen on their Blog about the Firmware... They answered!

Please give us, loyal custumors, some hope...

We are waiting so long since the exciting anouncement of august 27th. Can we still expect the new firmware-release? There has been a month of radio-silence on blog, so any comment or answer would be fine, just to know Bookeen is still out there working on the firmware.

Dear users,

We are very sorry for the delay in 1.5 (Mobi) and 2.0 (Adobe) firmware's release.

We should be able to release it very soon. Indeed, nearly all verifications have been done.

Please, be sure that we are doing our very best to provide you with a satisfactory solution.

Best regards,

Bookeen Team

I still don't see why we couldn't have had this (the quote of me in this is before I was told that Adobe/epub was never offered in Paris):

Why not make 1.9 flashable some time ago?

Notice the words "should" and "soon", about as non-committal as you can get...

You can't complain about their reaction time. It took only 17 minutes

October 28, 2009 3:41 AM -> October 28, 2009 3:58 AM

So I'll expect te new firmware in about 76 minutes and 12 seconds from monday

I should have phrased my question so:

Why must 1.9 be a Weltbild-only version?

If this is not necessary, why wasn't 1.9 a re-flashable firmware some time ago?

But it's the same v1.9 firmware that's installed on the Opus, isn't it? Bookeen have said that the firmware will be installable on both the Gen3 and the Opus. This months-long delay in releasing a flashable firmware version really is becoming inexplicable.

Oh, by the way, "MichaelGade" is sadly no longer with us .

The French members at the Paris RendezVous didn't get any ePub version of the firmware
Okay, thanks. Good to know, so this was a PRC-version with folder support?

Quote:
So, forgetting about all the rest of the text, it does imply that the firmware is done, testing is in progress and nearly finished.
It does imply that the firmware still isn't finished. Nothing else ... *sigh*

Quote:

Bookeen announced a version 1.5 for PRC and 2.0 for ePub. They didn't make any distinction between a Gen3 and an Opus version. So they "should" be the same.

Yes.
I had some of my books converted just before, hoping to be able to read ePub after. Fail !
