The Kobo devices have a linux framebuffer, so Qt can draw to it no problem. The big thing you have to worry about is refreshing the e-ink screen. Even if you draw to the screen with Qt, if you don't refresh the e-ink display you won't see anything on your Kobo.

There are a few threads in this forum with code to refresh the e-ink display. You can find compiled binaries ready to run in my original python package for Kobo. Someone posted source code for refreshing the display in this forum as well.
