yup. That's what I do right now when I want to check out magazines. Though, I will admit that's not often

With that being said, it would be amazing if Kobo can implement support for magazines so that you could use eink displays for reading magazines in a park on a sunny day without any glare

I believe it should be possible for some magazines. I read some issues of The Economist and National Geographic magazine, and they come with a 'reader mode' where the magazine page formatting is removed, and you are presented with bare text and images, like the Reader Mode in Firefox (and Chrome?).

That should work on a Kobo. But it requires Overdrive to recognize this and push the readable formatted magazine to the Kobo.
