I supported Kobo in the past (DE/AT, GB, AU/NZ, CA, US). Last I checked, 
these devices ran on GNU/Linux and Android... ironically, officially we 
didn't support GNU/Linux.

For PC's we basically directed customers to a few applications, aside 
from the Kobo program...

I believe the main dev is in TO, he might even be lurking on this list!
