I'm going to say you're wrong on the reason the reason for dual rendering being that Rakutan wanted Japanese/Chinese. Dual rendering has been the case since the 1st Kobo which was long before Rakutan was anywhere in the wings. Asian font support was also added when they went after the Asian market before Rakutan came in to the picture.
