One of the updates in the 2.2.0/2.2.1 firmware is to allow using the SD card for Kobo system use when internal memory is filled. When I was playing with 2.2.0, the first time I inserted my SD card after the factory reset/firmware install, a directory named KoboExtStorage with subdirectories called dict and images was created on the SD card.

My personal preference has been to keep all my side-loaded books on a SD card simply to make it easier to back up the files and to move them to a different device. Now, I'm pretty much forced to use an SD card since I am using a bit more storage than the internal storage on the Kobo Touch/Glo units.
