Speaking of things one can do with a Kobo, it is possible but not in
any way recommended save as a last resort to browse the web using the
Kobo. Not just the store (although that's where it will helpfully send
you if it can) but FB, twitter, the other interwebs. Just don't expect
the battery to last long if you try, and expect the experience to be 
slow and painful.
