Like DNSB said, an interesting experiment.

Certainly, an interesting experiment. However, by the use of an older libnickel.so.1.0.0 you might lose several of the improvements of the newer version. Therefore you could as well stay with the older FW and prevent it from updating. On a side note, I forgot whether the FW version is hardcoded into nickel or libnickel.so.1.0.0. But if it is in libnickel.so.1.0.0, you might be forced to upgrade to the current FW when you sync with the Kobo server, just because you have an older libnickel.so.1.0.0.
Apart from staying with an older FW, you could try modify advboot that it starts the demoloop.sh script without nickel. I have never used the demo mode in nickel, so may be there are some advantages like auto sleep or auto power off. I do not know.
I might also mention that it is possible to have two versions of the reading software installed at the same device. I have currently running 4.3.8842, and 4.2.8110. You would of course use only the newer version, when you connect to the Kobo server.
