No, it's not. Each reseller will have their own that works with their branded desktop app. Yes, the majority of the files are the same, but the built-in desktop installers are different, and as you've pointed out, if you update the firmware prior to your reseller offering a corresponding desktop app, you've effectively broken your kobo.
