Funny thing is, I never actually put anything on the SD card, it was empty.
That is very much like my experience when I first got my Glo. 8-9 hours reading with a card inserted, 40+ hours with no card. For me it turned out to be a particular card that was the problem though, when I replaced it with a different card the problem didn't re-occur.
