Yes, it is possible to easily open the Kobo AE2:

Can I also get the Image as my device is bricked after an update?
Some instructions would be beneficial as well..
I will try and open mine when I have a chance.

To get the image, on windows, I am not completely sure, because I have not used it for quite a while. On Linux:

Plug in the SD card.
Type lsblk.
Find the parent item for the KOBOeReader partition. This will most likely be something like /dev/sd_ or /dev/mmcblk_ or /dev/disk_
Type dd if=/dev/thedevicenameyoufoundearlier of=koboimage.img
Your image will now be in koboimage.img in the current directory.
