Can I convert a Tolino into a kobo?

Hi, I'm back! You don't get rid of me

A strange idea crossed my mind.
Is it technically possible to change Tolino's original firmware into a kobo?
I have an old T.Vision 2 that nobody in the house use anymore..all considered, if Tolino could become compatible with kobo epub format, reading on it would be a better experience.

Don't you think?

All devices that receive the latest update, and we don't know which ones these will be, will essentially use the Kobo software. I've even found an option in the dev-menu to completely switch to Kobo mode.

However, I guess that only the devices that were already made by Kobo will receive the latest update and the Vision 2 was made by T-Systems, IIRC.
