This doesn't mean that some enterprising Kobo developer(s) won't create something more substantial in the future. Much like some of the more ambitious community projects, e.g. KOReader, NickelMenu etc.

It would be amazing if they did. Interactive drawing/editing on eink seems to be very challenging. The Sketch pad is poor. The drawing/sketching on the reMarkable is the best on eink and can't copy/paste images (or didn't last I looked) and is rubbish compared to a decent LCD tablet. I've an Android eink, and while it's likely slower than the Libra Colour or Sage (I have), it's abysmal to unusable for notes or image editing. Even a text editor with external real keyboard is poor. On the Kobo I highlight a big chunk of epub and type a miniimum of annotation.
The eink is nearly 5000x slower than fastest OLED/LCD for pixel response/change and frame rate (without much gray scale) about 20x slower than many tablets.
Like LCD, the Kaleido color used on the Libra Colour is a coloured dye filter on a monochrome panel, so the mono Libra 300 dpi is reduced to 150 dpi. LCD makers haven't quoted native mono pixel resolution under the colour filter for maybe 30 years.
