There's no mention of the Kobo at the Debian Mobile wiki page:

However, stuff there might be helpful to you.

I don't buy any DRM-encumbered books. This does limit me but I find that
Tor, O'Reilly, Smashwords, Baen, etc. supply enough reading matter.

I plan to install Debian on my Asus Tranformer Pad Prime (TF701) soon, but
not in the next week. I will write up a HOWTO at the same time.
