That's just my point. If you limit what Kobo must do to simple features etc. of its hardware my opinion is that there is quite literally nothing which "would cause Kobo to cut into the market share of Kindle". Kobo's disadvantages lie elsewhere.

That's not an insignificant chunk of change. And they were a startup. It was a gamble. People kept on throwing about the term "vaporware" in reference to the campaign. That doesn't do much to encourage those who might be interested but sitting on the fence.
From what I gather, the ereading experience on the device leaves much to be desired.
However, imagine combining those note taking/sketching capabilities with the reading experience already on Kobo devices... If Kobo were able to do something like that, they could attract a considerable number of new users, quite possibly a good number of current Kindle users which would cut into Kindle's market share.
Would it be enough to knock Kindle out of its place at the forefront of eink devices? Probably not. However, it would chip away at their share of the market which, again, seemed to be the point of the OP which you seemed to miss or ignore.
