I do not understand to arguments that people use against it. I used to read lot on my first PDA, wonderful b&#038;w Palm. Today I have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookeen.com\/specs\/ebook-CybookGen3.aspx\">Bookeen Cybook Gen3<\/a> which I love. Only reason for me to read paper books is that (what a same) there is no way how to buy legally book in Czech. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebookforum.cz\/viewtopic.php?f=10&#038;t=10004&#038;start=60#p64476\">Interesting<\/a> discussion why it is like that (in Czech).<\/p>\n<p>Today I found out that there is a firmware upgrade for my reader which supports either Mobipocket DRM or ePub Adobe DRM. I also found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.e-reader-info.com\/interview-michael-dahan-co-founder-and-ceo-bookeen\">an interview with Bookeen co-founder<\/a> where he reveals that they prepare ebook reader with touchscreen and wifi for only $250!

No howto, no SDK, not even a word that it would be possible. OK, they let you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookeen.com\/support\/ebook-gpl.aspx\">download firmware GPL code<\/a> but not even a README file \ud83d\ude41 It&#8217;s a pity. I think they would leverage from community, if they let other developers to improve their firmware.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a huge fan of electronic books.
