One thing you might consider if you like to experiment, install one of the open source readers that are being developed for Kobo. Two of them are KOReader, and Plato. You can find info about both in the KOReader forum. I've used KOReader and like it, gives you some additional features vs the built-in Kobo software.
Here's the thread that tells you how to install, it's simple and fast:

So on the Kobo do you not have to jailbreak it to install extra programs like that? From the description it also sounds like the different launcher only launches when you click on it (and I'd assume a simple restart of the device relaunches the default OS/launcher - right?). Is uninstall as simple as deleting the corresponding files?
If so, it does sound like experimenting with different OS/launchers would be a simple and easy process so I could really choose what I like without having to jailbreak and put a lot of work into configuring and restoring backups, etc.
