I don't use Windows so haven't tried it, but according to Wikipedia Ex2IFS will allow mounting a read/write ext2/3 filesystem in Windows.

Edit: Journaling support is not necessary anyway, FAT doesn't have a journal so you don't lose anything by formatting the card ext2 without a journal.
Yes, ext2 would be fine as well.

Everything is still working beautifully, with the added bonus that calibre to glo transfers seem to be about 2X faster, and even the browsing of shelves etc. withing the glo seems a bit snappier.

EXT2IFS would be a possibility for windows users, but a real solution would be to ditch M$ and use Linux instead ;-)
