That is a really cool approach! Is the kobo still usable as an e-reader after the config change? I own one but I have so little time to read lately that it is mostly taking the dust. Being able to use it as some kind of always on display, while being able to pick it up to read when desired sounds really attractive to me.

The browser is accessible out-of-the-box in the "Beta" section. You only need to edit the config file if you want it full-screen. If you open the browser with it set to full-screen, I believe the only way to exit is to restart the Kobo, bringing you back to the home screen. So yes, it is still fully usable.
