Your wood-encased Kobo hopes are similarly crushed, it seems.

Not really. Nothing that says it has to be identical to the original (especially the back cover) -- it could be thicker and not cause any issues I can think of. Front might be more of a challenge from a bevel down to the screen perspective, but likely doable.
Not sure I'd want to take on the Kobo Wifi just due to the button -- it would add extra complications to making the front cover work.
