The car can take whatever they throw in there, and as a radio will not make a car run any slower, the radio (in this case the pdf engine) is not going to make the Aura any slower either, and who knows, maybe they'll even improve the wiring while they are at it.
Except that the PDF engine that Kobo is using is the RMSDK. That means it isn't an add-on, but a core function. They could change to another PDF engine, but one of the things they would lose is support for DRM protected PDFs.
