Read my post. The device is specced with a 2GB card. They have an image for 2GB card. For some reason, they have put 4GB cards into them. This is most likely because they ran out of 2GB cards and it was cheaper to get 4GB cards. Or the factory simply had them available. But, building a new image to put on these cards would cost extra. And if they revert to 2GB cards when they come back in stock, then they have to revert to the original image. It is much cheaper and easier for Kobo and the factory to do it this way.
