I know there have been a number of posts about external SD card issues with Kobo readers, but here's mine: I have a Kobo Aura (3.10 firmware) with a 32gb Sandisk Class 10 Micro SD card installed. Every time I power up the device I receive the following message: "We couldn't recognize your Micro SD card. Please format it to FAT32 and try again." However, the screen then flashes a few times and the books on the external card appear in the library. Has anyone else encountered this specific problem and, if so, have they found a fix? I have tried reformatting the card (SDFormatter) and I have tried a second SD card (same specs) with no luck.
I've seen this on my wife's Aura. It seems to be the same on 3.1.0 as it was on 2.10.0. Since she leaves powering off or resetting her Aura to me, it doesn't bother her. When I last played with the Aura, I found that about 50% of my uSD card collection don't seem to have any problems, the other 50% trigger the error. The exception is one Patriot 16GB Class 6 uSD card that will format in the Aura when connnected to my PC, allow me to copy files to it and then gives nothing but error messages when disconnected -- oddly, the same thing it did in my daughter's phone.
