I do not know about ssh.
I would love to try. Do you have any details?

You can run Linux terminal emulator application directly on the device as a PocketBook application.
The problem is, if you want to see the partition from windows when you connect the USB cable, it should be some kind of fat or perhaps ntfs system. The partition where books are is most probably mounted as fat32 (I guess vfat partition in Linux), but it is not mounted via /etc/fstab so I could not make 100% sure. There is a script somewhere, I just do not have patience to look for it right now.
So. Even in Linux you can not make symlinks (much less hardlinks) on fat32 filesystem.
