I have an 8GB card in my Glo's internal slot, I use an external card on occasion too, but only keep a few books at a time on it. If I want to keep the books long term I put them on the internal card.

Note that if you install an old firmware version to get around the long boot time, you will just run into other problems with the way external cards used to be managed (no cover images stored for books on the external card for example, which slowed down browsing the library listings because earlier firmware also had no option to hide covers).
these issues all arose from the complaint " it takes too long to process my books" on initial insertion of sd card... sometimes it tooks hours but it was a one time thing as kobo read and created the data base of the books on the sd card. Then they fixed it and here we are today.
