Question Problem with Micro SD Card

Hello, all:

I am having a problem with the Touch, Customer Service can't solve it, and I am wondering if anyone out there in Internet Wonderland might know of a fix:

I have a few over 1,000 books on my Kobo proper, but I was running out of room. So, since I had a spare 16GB Micro SD card, I thought I would off-load a few onto that. Using Calibre, I deleted the selected books from the main memory and copied them to the SD Card. Calibre finds them just fine and also knows about the collection they belong to.

However, when I first turn on the Touch, the Touch cannot find the SD Card or its contents. Keeping the Touch powered up, if I remove and replace the card, after a bit of soul searching, the Touch does find the card and the books thereon, but it does not recognize that some are members of collections on the SD Card.

I spoke with Kobo Customer Service but they said the SD Card didn't work like an extension of the Kobo memory like the Kobo adverts claim.

This seems to me to be a software error but I was wondering if someone might know if a fix, work-around, or something similar.

Thanks in advance.
