The fact that we conflate FW with SW is not particularly specific to the Kobo, FWIW. We've been using "FW" for pretty much forever in Kindle-land to encompass the full Kindle software package, low-level or not

.

(i.e., the original, legacy specificity of the term "firmware" has somewhat been diluted over the years, and that's not specific to this context).
