Here, have a fun fact: The Kobo Desktop App is actually Nickel compiled for x86, so, technically it could be possible to make a "native" kobo emulator, given that one can load nickel.dll properly.
Yes, the desktop app is largely nickel.

There are also one more "secret" command in the search bar, which I suspect is either a chaos monkey, or just more analytics information, "alex sparling go", which, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT DOES, DO NOT USE IT, OR YOU MIGHT PERMANENTLY BRICK YOUR EREADER.
I've tried that before and couldn't see that it did anything. I'm also pretty sure that Kobo wouldn't leave a command in the firmware that was likely to brick the device.
