It was slow to install on an older Kindle, but worked without issue for a quick test.
Need to remember to quit Calibre before ejecting, of course. |

Did some quick testing with a Kobo Sage and having calibre portable installed on it worked. OTOH, since I needed my laptop to run this while out and about, it was just simpler to install calibre portable on the laptop.

When Calibre ran, did it automatically recognize that the Kobo was plugged into the USB port? I would expect that and I would also expect because of that, there would be no way to use Calibre to put eBook on any other Reader while the Kobo was plugged in.

Yes, you'd need to disable the Kobo detection to transfer to a different ereader, or use a disk location as a device (not great for Kobo, but works for Kindle, non-android Binatone and Android.
I'd use a USB stick on the car or house keys? Then you've bigger problems if it's lost! |

If it did detect the Kobo, I'd also be curious to see what the device tab looked like.

Putting the Library management Activity on the built in flash can lead to early demise of non replaceable flash.
Normal/portable Calibre does quite a few file read-writes in normal usage. This would add a lot more wear-n-tear |

Since the whole point is to manage the one Kobo, not recognizing other devices wouldn't really be a problem, IMO.

But OTOH, I would tend to assume that the internal storage is the same chip as a thumb drive/SD card. I vaguely recall seeing a literal microSD card on the board as the 'internal' storage in some device. Early Nook maybe? |

The chip may be the same, but you have to replace the reader (not many folk have SMD repair facilities) if it fails, while a USB pen drive is a lot less expensive
