What kind of best practices tips for getting better use out of the device can you share?
SideloadedMode=true
Never WiFi or BT
Calibre to manage. KoboUtilities to read back real text annotations.
Advanced notebooks for all but a sketch to upload to Web; export advanced as plain text before exit every time, unless non-text content, then docx.
Only epub, no kepub
Only annotate epub with finger & touch screen keyboard; make font larger if lots of highlighting.
Only a few small PDF manuals/instruction books that suit screen size; Elipsa for most PDFs.
"Adrawpen" (sold for MS Surface) rather than Kobo Pen, identical use and almost identical appearance. I compared with pen that came with Elipsa.
KWmobile basic flip sleep cover; not so called "origami". I have a plastic & metal adjustable angle book stand for desk cost €5.
Charger that came with my Lenovo yoga tablet because other 1.5A to 2A generic chargers only charge half as fast.
A €5 USB-A to USB-C cable that's 3m long so as to read in bed if it needs charged. Usually only needed for 15 minutes. A short cable to PC for Calibre or copy out notebook texts or update FW.
Currently 4.32.x FW seems best.
