EPub, definitely.

TXT, yes. Just be aware that text files are usually fixed width. As such you may find them difficult to read because of awkward line breaks.

HTML, not sure. It can certainly render HTML files retrieved from servers with the web browser. I've never tried it with locally hosted files.

Can I use my own folder organization system?
Sort of. You can copy your folders onto the Touch however you wish, and it will remain intact. (That makes it easy to synchronized collections.) However, you cannot browse for books based upon that folder organization system unless you use thirdparty reading software like koreader.

What about Glo or Aura, are the answers the same or different?
All Kobo devices use the same firmware at the moment, so the answers are the same.

I know, stupid. But I don't want to buy it and find that I can't use it with my 5000+ books. I'd be right cheesed since I don't have a ton of money to spare!
Some people report performance issues with large collections, others don't. It may be an issue with what individuals are willing to tollerate, but it sounds like it's usually depends upon the ebooks loaded. (Kobo's firmware seems to be intollerant of errors in ePubs.)
