I have been having great difficulties adding epubs to an SDHC card with the following methods:

1. Putting the card in the kobo and using the "send to card" feature in calibre. When I attempt this, the entire device disconnects from the computer and a failure dialog is given. No books end up actually on the card.

2. The "supported" method of inserting the card into a card reader, copying epubs to it, and then placing the card in the kobo: The kobo detects new content but many books are missing, and others are corrupted. Placing the card back into the card reader afterward shows that several books now have file names consisting of garbage characters.

I have tried these methods (and any others I could think of) on several SDHC cards ranging from 1gb to 8th and only had partial success with two sandisk "ultra" cards. Reading and posting on this forum has lead me to see that most people with this device are able to use any card without error, which makes me think my kobo has an issue.

My device is a kobo wireless purchased in December 2010. Thank you.
