What I'm saying is, Kobo's don't run like you might expect standard Linux distros to. You can't kick up xterm out of the box and start installing emacs. Yeah, you can modify Kobo's I'm not arguing that.
Well, you can bring up the search, type "devmodeon" and then telnet to the device. Is that what you want?

Whether you can install emacs will depend on if there is suitable binaries. It doesn't have a compiler installed, and it probably wouldn't be fun to run one on such a low powered device. But, if binaries exist for whatever you want, they can be installed.
