I think it worked with an older model Kobo or maybe an earlier firmware version. It is a pity it doesn't work with the current ones as it would be an easy way to get around the files-per-directory and filename-length restrictions of FAT formats. I think it would be a simple thing to implement too, since the hidden partitions use ext format, and so the drivers and filesystem tools must already be present in the firmware.
