Hi! Thanks!

Unfortunately as far as I know USB port in Kobo is not OTG and it has no
bluetooth at all.

Your only options are: RS232 port (available on the motherboard if you open
the cover - please refer to how to connect serial GPS module) or through
wifi (worse option because of high power consumption and not sure about
existing solution / drivers). I don't think someone did it already. Be
prepared to recompile the kernel for required drivers.

If you want to use mouse and keyboard at home, connected to your PC, you
may try to run Synergy app: http://synergy-project.org/synergy/.

Best Regards,
Marek

I know it's been 8 years but you wouldn't still happen to have that image floating around would you?
