Checking which version you are buying might not be so easy. Even if you see what is printed on the box it might be difficult to interpret.
I have some doubts that the old model without internal SD card has ever been sold in Japan. Therefore, I would simply take the risk. I guess, chances that you get such an old model are rather low.
I would certainly only buy a Kobo model with removable internal SD card, if I could choose. However, in several years of usage, I have only once replaced it with a back up copy. And even that was not necessary, I could have done a simple hardware reset. I only did it because I was in a hurry at that time, and wanted to keep the failing image for later analysis to see what I did wrong. I should note that I am a heavy 3rd party software user, though I do almost all my recreational reading with the original software.
Could you post the link to the reseller? Preferable to the page offering the Touch?
On another note, I cannot see how using software like koreader can be supposed to break the device in a way that it cannot recover by a simple factory reset.
