All kobos use a custom OS built on Android...8 (lol). Its not recognizable as Android, but it is the base.

I'm dubious Android even serves as a base for Kobo's OS. I've seen no evidence to support that claim.

EDIT: if you are referring to Tolinos, they are not simple rebrands of Kobos.

No, I forget where exactly it was, but at some point last year I was deep in Rakuten's documentation and it referenced that the Clara HD's OS is based on a modified Android 8 kernel.
