I don't think they will. I got an email from Kobo today touting the new system.

I'm not sure what being "lost in your story, not in your eBook" is supposed to mean, but this makes it pretty clear that Kobo sees this as their future. Kind of ironic in my case, but I need criteria to use in paring down my eReaders anyhow... so this actually ends up helping me.
