At any rate, I'm happy it works. I just recently put a 32 GB microSD card in mine, so now I have over 28 GBs of available storage. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but I had the spare microSD card and... why not?
I wondered about being able to use the device online with Kobo again, now that I've got v.4 firmware on it. But I guess I'd have to edit the KoboReader.sqlite file with DB Browser or SQLite again before I could do so - I'd have to substitute my real details for the fake ones that I put in earlier. I don't think it's worth the effort now that I've got where I am: I'm happy to carry on loading books with Calibre. (I never buy directly from my e-readers anyway. I prefer to browse and buy on my PC.)

I love the idea of a 32GB μSD card in a Mini, though 8GB would be more than enough for me if I was going to do that upgrade. However, as I said earlier, that job's beyond my capabilities.
