Device configuration is unfortunately quite manual. You need to find the Linux input events you want to use as triggers and put them in a configuration file, but that at least only needs to be done once per device.

The code is here: https://github.com/tsowell/kobo-btpt

Installation and usage instructions are in the README, and you can grab a pre-built KoboRoot.tgz from the releases page: https://github.com/tsowell/kobo-btpt/releases

If anyone gets a chance to try it out, let me know how it goes. PRs are also welcome.
