I can't imagine Kobo would be okay with people buying the cheaper reader and just needing to flip the brand switch (assuming a market where both are offered). And it's a potential prevention mechanism that I'm afraid of (if it's not already there; I recall reading posts about missing this switch already[?]).
Regarding my Shine 4 off-topic:
I don't really think this gets some of the unified base. It's probably cheaper to deliver some security patches to Android than to fit a new system to it. If it did, however, it could become a better performer than its siblings. There are more arguments to be made, but I'm already no longer on topic. Maybe some research and a separate thread in the Tolino section worth.

I think Kobo will switch to V5 in the Near time and then have the switch too.
But the problem ist that on 5.2.190625 and 5.1.186250 you cant access the needed Development menü.
I think they block it with reasons.
But you can downgrade the firmware to the correct on.
But some people prefer the android version over the Kobo. but i prefer the kobo firmware
