I breezed through this thread as I'm always interested in new stuff, but not particularly Kobo. So here's my $0.02 cents.
Ok, you're allowed to still love/keep your 10 year old reader but the iMX6/SL is dead/dead/dead and nobody should be selling them today.
Every device should have Bluetooth. If you haven't discovered the joy of clickers or keyboards yet you could have a big surprise. I value Bluetooth over WiFi.
USB Mass Storage was ALWAYS a terrible idea. (Which is not to defend MTP.) UMS is like giving the keys to your "hard disk" to a stranger over USB and saying, "Could you be careful please and not screw up the indexes and allocation tables?" Also, while you're "lending" your "hard disk" over USB you can't access it yourself. Bleh! What a bad idea.
My solution: (Which works for me, but maybe not you.) I keep directories on my desktop and sync the contents with my various Android devices using ADB (and more specifically my own AdbSync.exe) which is blazingly fast on the USB 3.1 on my Poke3. Okay, Kobo doesn't do ADB, but it could.
