If this device had the memory of a flash drive, it would boot at least 2x to 3x faster.
Just for the heck of it, I compared two Kobo Touch ereaders. One (N905C) has a removeable uSD card for internal storage, the other (N905) has non-removable flash memory. Using a pinhole reset to restart the ereader and a stopwatch to record the time from releasing the reset switch to the home screen appearing, the boot time was virtually identical for both devices.
