Kobo Glo Running Android I recently bought a Kobo Glo, and while carelessly googling around, stumbled into this:
 http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/04/kobo-glo-android-hack/

1) Has any of the fellow SE-Android-lings attempted / succeded installing android on the Kobo Glo?

2) How can I backup the Original Firmware of the device?
Answering question #2 only, since I don't own the reader.

According to this post on the source thread, the original firmware can remain intact if you simply use a different microSD Card to load Android on:


  You can dual-boot by having two separate MicroSDcards, one for each
  system, and swap them. You will have to open the back of your glo each
  time though.
