After a little googling, I must say I do not agree with this one statement too. According to Tom's Hardware and Hardware.info, there's class 10 SD card that have fast random access and there's not so expensive (Samsung ones in particular):

The fact class > 4 are less well-performing for random access seems to come from a xda-developers thread. This benchmark method seems not reliable to me, since it comes from different users with different card readers (and some of them has different buses!)

Anyway, an UHS sd card would not perform as well on Kobo, since it probably does not have an UHS bus.
