That would be the easy way to do it, but I won't be surprised if they did a firmware update. The current URL would be registered to Sony (which in theory isn't a big deal to change) but probably has SONY somewhere in it and Sony probably won't want to give up control of that which means that Kobo may well want to change the URL in the device. Sure, Sony could license it to Kobo, but they may not want to be bothered with that for the long term. If it is just a random alpha/numeric URL then I'd agree that they may well just redirect it. If I was Kobo and didn't have direct control over the URL I'd be changing while it's possible (i.e. while they have Sony's help to do so).
