What you should be searching for is something along the lines of, "Has anyone ported a version of Android over to Kobo?", or something to that effect. A quick forum search will show they have for some models. Whether the Aura is one, I cannot say. Then you can start inquiring how to root that.
Sigh. While I do appreciate you taking the time to answer, I have already covered this point in two previous posts.
