No, they are updates to the firmware. Some updates are to the common application software. Some updates are specific to devices. For example, the last update was a catchup for the other devices. But, it included changes that were only for the Elipsa. Kobo has always done this for new devices. They have a pre-release version for those getting review devices. Then a release-day version for that device only. They may then follow it up with some more if there are specific problems for the device. Then they release a catch-up version for all devices. After that, they tend to release to all devices, even if the changes are mainly for a single device.

With the Sage and Libra coming, it will be the same. But, I won't be surprised if the Elipsa is included in the release-day version and the follow ups.

Basically, if Kobo has a reason to release a fix or change for something, they will. And it won't matter if it is for one device or all.
