There is a thread here showing how to do it for the Glo using Windows, the basic procedure for the AuraHD should be the same, but the Glo's back is very easy to remove, I am not so sure about the AuraHD's. Perhaps someone else can point to a thread specific to the AuraHD.

The procedure is quite simple if you are familliar with the tools used for making images of the card and expanding filesystem partitions, but if not you might want to practice it on two different size cards before opening up your reader, just to make sure you know it works. The internal card also contains the device's operating system and other data so it is possible to end up with a non-functioning device if you do it wrong. Be sure to keep the original card as a backup, or at the very least keep a copy of the image you make from it, so if anything goes wrong you can restore the device to its original state.

Also be aware that some microSD cards are faster than others, and the original card supplied by Kobo is usually a fast one. If you replace it with a slower card then the device will become slower. You might need to try a few cards to find one that is as fast as the original.
