One roundabout way could be to install wine and Sony Reader for PC (or ADE).
We got some brilliant people here, can you see a feasable and pragmatic way to make this happen?
(FWIW I know plenty of people choosing Pocketbook before Kobo just because of this.)

Nope, it is unfeasible in the best case scenario and probably impossible.
Wine requires x86 PEs and a underlying linux system on the host. That would require to run an emulated linux x86 under qemu and run wine inside that VM. I cannot say it is impossible but running a x86 linux target on a arm host would be painfully slow (hours? to boot) and would require more storage than most Kobos have.
Even then you would need to tweak the build of qemu-system-arm to display the VM contents on e-ink and, in case you get that to work, you'll only be able to deDRM, but not to interact with ascm files in any way on the host.
