With a Kindle, you have to jailbreak to get any sort of access to the system. What the Kobo patches do is patch the firmware files outside of the Reader and then has the Reader install them over what is already there. No jailbreaking required. In fact, I was able to replace the default hyphenation dictionary (for US English) with a better one.
Yes, patching can be considered hacking, but there is no jailbreaking required.
