The Kobo Glo, released in 2012, is still getting updates to the latest Kobo firmware version. In fact all Kobo e-ink devices, except the Kobo Mini, wifi, and the original one, are still getting firmware updates. Their android-based tablets with IPS screens are all discontinued though (as far as I am aware). This is more than Amazon ever did. They haven't updated the firmware on some of their devices that are officially "supported" in years. | ||

Not to mention that those devices all support regular EPUBs out of the box, and so you can still put new content on them today. Of course, you'll get a bit more out of them if you convert your EPUBs to KEPUBs with Kepubify[0], but the point remains that Kobos are supplemented by their cloud/connected features, not inherently dependent on them. | ||
