Kobo WiFi - a couple questions

I won a Kobo WiFi at auction (no one put a bid over $5 on it, so I got it unexpectedly) and I kind of like it. I'm reading one of the included books "Irish Fairy Tales" – and the Reader is pretty comfortable to hold and read on.

I've haven't been able to find out anything about upgrading the WiFi. Is it pretty much "you get what you get?" It's running release 1.9 and seems pretty good (for what it is). Also curious if you can use the Full Screen hack on it (I'm guessing not). But the thing I would really like to be able to do is download the books on it to Calibre so I can change the font to Constantia. Obok throws an error – something about a series not found, so I'm guessing it's too old for that also. I'm pretty sure all these books are in the public domain anyhow, so even that's not a really big deal – and the built-in font really isn't that bad anyhow, but it would be nice to narrow the margins a bit.

Sorry to ramble (again). I like the old Readers (used in conjunction with Calibre), but I think I've got too many of them.
