It's pretty much the same as embedded GUI development on Linux, except that you throw in a bunch of code every time something doesn't work with e-ink or touch (or you just use FBInk to skip all the e-ink nonsense). There's not really much of a framework; it's custom-built for almost all the apps for Kobo devices (see Plato for a easy-to-understand implementation of most required things).

It'll be nothing like Android app development, though.
