The difference between a easily modified open system and a locked down system. And, no offence intended, but the two features you mention are part of the factory Kobo firmware as is the the ability to add a screensavers directory that will be used to supply random sleep/power off screen images for those who do not want a blank screen or the the book cover. No hacking needed.
And possibly the greatest (IMNSHO) feature of Kobo's firmware is the ability to trigger a factory reset for those times when an ereader has been turned into a paperweight which I managed a few times when having fun with firmware.
