Maybe once / if Kobo releases a unified firmware for all currently supported devices. If the codebase is unified and older tolinos are upgraded, this might be possible. Kobo appears to have started locking down their bootloader and firmware, also using checksums in the upgrade packages. Perhaps it will be possible down the road, but who knows. They want to sell new devices and Tolino is probably dying, with weltbild now ceasing operations.
