I've read somewhere that Kobo device always checks for KoboRoot.tgz file in .kobo folder and if such a file exists, the reader will extract the file and overwrite it on current system files.

Am I doing wrong?
This does not work. What is done with the KoboRoot.tgz is like copying files and folder to certain locations. For instance, if there is no usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts/Malabar-Bold.ttf in KoboRoot.tgz, nothing is done to usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts/Malabar-Bold.ttf on the device. With KoboRoot.tgz you can only replace files and add files and folders. You cannot delete or rename anything. But you can replace files with empty files.
