I do not have any idea what went on in the Kobo dev's team. As if complicating rooting could do any good to anybody.

Rooting on Linux is as always a little easier (no need for drivers!). Get the SuperOneClick package, and
chmod +x Exploits/zergRush
chmod +x Dependencies/busybox
adb push Exploits/zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb push Dependencies/busybox /data/local/tmp
busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
./zergRush
./busybox mv /data/local/tmp/su-v2 /system/xbin/su
./busybox chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
./busybox chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
./busybox cp /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
./busybox chown 0.2000 /system/bin/su
./busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin
./busybox chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox
./busybox chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/busybox

if that is the result, you're good:

ls -l /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
-rwsr-sr-x root root 26264
-rwsr-sr-x root shell 26264

reboot!
