Not knowing enough, so I'm guessing, but I would presume the ISO - being so much larger - has the entire toolchain needed to fit itself onto a given embedded platform. It's Linux 2.6.25 BTW - or so it says. The interesting thing is that YouTIYou.com sells a Samsung S3C2440 Evaluation Kit and on it's site it states that it supports both a Linux 2.6.13 embedded OS and a WinCE 5.0 OS. Hmmm... Isn't WinCE 5.0 the generic version of WindowsMobile 5.0? And their Evaluation Kits run between $249 and $399, complete - depending upon whether one opts for a 3.5", 4.8" or 7" LCD display. Hmmm... That's almost a reasonable price for OS and toolchain. Derek PS the s3c2440 ISO came from RealChecko's blog - just google under "s3c2440 sdk" Last edited by delphidb96; 05-01-2008 at 06:10 PM. |

Well, yes and no. The EB-200/210 and EB-300/310 are all WinCE devices, but you can choose whether you want WiFi, Bluetooth or Touchscreen or none of those options for either size display, according to Netronix's literature.

I am wondering if anyone has received any words from bookeen about this issue, or somebody has already given a push to FSF against bookeen?

No word about the exact nature of the source. Since the Cybook Gen3 uses the hardware and OS that one finds in a Netronix EB-100, one can request the SDK from Netronix. Be prepared to shell out $3,500 plus S&H. Or one could just buy an EB-100, download and install some form of Linux 2.6 as well as a cross-compilation toolchain targeting the Samsung S3C24xx series of ARM processors and develop one's own SDK from there. Realistically, except for the Boo Reader (And the Boo Reader is 100% of the software most customers care about.) the Cybook Gen3 is pretty generic. It's the same hardware (Okay, with the latest hardware changes, it's not "quite" the same as the older versions - like mine.) as an EB-100, STAReBOOK STK-101, ExPlay and the soon-to-be-released Astak Mentor series. Of course, the Eread software most of these implement sux. TTBOMK, it's rather difficult to convert over to the .stk ebook format and I'm not all that impressed by the creation software. Using either Mobipocket Creator, Mobigen or BookDesigner, one can do a much better job of creating a mobi ebook from PDF, LIT, TXT or HTML sources. While I'm not thrilled with the latest update, kudos to Bookeen for choosing a decent target ebook format. Derek |

although this is not actually about the gen3... still it is about gpl violation from Bookeen.
I have a Cybook orizon, and in the devise there is stored a GPL, but no source code on Bookeen's site for Orizon!!! so as a first step I posted the following on Bookeen's page on Facebook Quote:

Imagine the power of open source developers if Bookeen would release an SDK for the cybooks! |

They do have the source code for their other 2 readers, just not for the Orizon. Isn't that a bit peculiar? I will ask for the source code by contacting the support team, though I doubt I will get it |

The GPL didn't say you have to give the source code to everyone, but to people that use the GPLed software.
