Ken, you can write image to SD card and then resize KoboReader partition with resizing tool that supports Linux partitions (gparted for Linux or MiniTool Partition for Windows).
For those who (like me) had some trouble with this on Windows, after installing MiniTool Partition you will at first still not be able to resize the Debian or the Kobo partition.
The trick is to create a copy of the linux swap partition at the end of the card (there is a menu item for this in MiniTool Partition), then delete the (original) swap partition, and THEN you can resize the other partitions.

Like Don_Karnage earlier in this thread I ran into the problem that I could not use an 8GB SD card, it was too small, just curious, why is that? Does not really matter for me anymore since I now used a 16GB card, but I still wonder...
