My relatively ancient sony eReader finally died and I have been thinking of updating to a genuinely modern eInk device with WiFi and all the bells and whistles. I have been looking at various Kobo devices and I have a few questions I cant find answered in any reviews.

Does the "Reading Life" feature have parity across all the devices, or is it more or less featureful depending on the device? My understanding is that Reading Life supports Twitter integration. Does it do so on all current devices?

I understand folks manage Kobo with Calibre. Is it a mass storage device or is it MTP?

Do third party epubs/pdfs you side load get thumbnails and sit beside regular purchased content in the UI or are they quarantined seperately?

Thanks
