As an old geezer who started using unix back when you had to buy it from Bell Labs, and the computers it ran on were as big as a refrigerator, it still boggles my mind to see it running on these (comparatively) tiny devices, even after years of using Android phones that are running on Linux. And compared to those old computers Linux is so blazing fast on these tiny devices.
It would be even more amazing if X works on your Kobo.
I don't have a spare Kobo but I think I'll try that Alpine Linux on an old 32 bit Celeron laptop I never use.
