No, I didn't know that explicitly but I inferred it from this thread. My point was that many manufacturers seemed to have delayed putting in Bluetooth because they personally didn't see the utility of it. While wireless clickers, keyboards and headphones won't appeal to everybody (as shown by the comments) there is plenty of diversity among the needs of ereader users.
I still think that UMS (where you plug in your device and it sits there showing a screen that it's plugged in and can't do anything, where you have to "eject" it before you can continue) was always a bad idea, dictates what file system you use (generally FAT and it's variants) and has more potential of corruption than any known connection method. AFAIK Kobos still do this.
My suggestion for using ADB was not a wholesale endorsement of Android. The Android subsystem on Android devices runs independently on top of a Linux-like base. ADB does not need the Android subsystem. A port could actually run on any OS.
