BTW, if the answer is, "'Cuz it should work!", I whole heartedly agree.

When I was replacing the internal uSD card in a Glo, I found several cards that did not work. I regard any uSD card as something to be tested before I am certain that it will work. I even have a couple of cards that the SD card reader (using a uSD to SD adapter) in my laptop is not happy with but do work in my Aura HD.
As for my preference to keeping my books on the removable external card, it just makes it simpler when I do a factory reset and don't have to reload the books -- pull the external card, do the factory reset, jump through all the firmware update, patch, etc. hoops and then re-insert the external card. Though the slow scan times on 3.2.0 is making factory resets something that I will be avoiding as much as possible until the next release -- if the next release improves in that area.
The other nasty to watch for is the sheer number of counterfeit cards. One local store located on east Broadway sold me 4 Sandisk 32GB Class 10 uSD cards which didn't work very well. Unfortunately, querying the cards revealed the information that they were not Sandisk -- at least the results from the Card ID register did not match with Sandisk's MFG ID. I just wish the bleeping utility did not need me to dig out an old IBM T61 laptop -- the utility does not work with USB connected devices and most of the newer laptops use USB to connect the card reader.
