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.
I've not tried with ARM, but for x86_64 QEMU, it runs effortlessly on my Glo HD (picture attached)
