That's a concern. It wouldn't surprise me if the Touch and Mini keep the same interface, but the Glo and Aura HD change. But, a Kobo person I trust has explicitly stated the Aura HD uses the same firmware as the other devices. I would say what is happening is that they still share a lot of the same code. All the backend is the same, it is just how they interface is displayed that has changed for the Aura HD. There is a fair chance that both versions are in the firmware and which one is used is triggered by a check somewhere.
In fact, when I asked for info to add the Aura HD to the calibre driver, I was hoping to find something in the config files to turn on the interface. If it was there, it wasn't obvious. But, I did ask for files I knew abouit. Maybe there is a new file that needs to be added. Maybe a full listing of the .kobo directory and its children would tell us something. Without the images and kepub directories.
