Warning!
To anyone thinking of trying this who is not already intimately familiar with Linux disk management, it is *vital* that you confirm and double check you have the correct sd? device (/dev/sdb in the provided example) before you use the dd if=koboimage of=/dev/sdb command.
I can't stress this enough, if you make a mistake here, even MI-6 will unlikely be able to recover whatever data you just accidentally erased.
One good way, before you insert the new blank or destination sdcard, run command #dmesg -c
That will output a large wall of techncial gibberish, but will also clear the log.
Now insert your new sdcard
run command #dmesg
The output from this should make it clear that new device was detected, and what it is dected as. /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc.... etc.
Beware of typos. Low level Linux commands are powerful and useful, but they make little attempt to warn you before executing the command exactly as typed.
