Interesting, from a bit of research it seems like only the Kobo Libra Color models are affected.

I would recommend against installing custom OS’es (such as QuillOS) anyways, because there is simply no reason to do so. They provide no value over KOReader, which pretty much offers everything you could think of and it’s not a ROM, just a modification (to my knowledge).
Before buying a device I’d recommend checking discussions about it to really see if it’s good or not for your use case. I use a Kobo Clara BW purchased in 2025 and it’s been wonderful so far.
