I had an issue getting my Kobo to read the 32 GB card to the point where I almost bricked the thing in trying to reset the device to factory settings. Basically, any time I tried to load the 32 GB card or write books to it, my Kobo would freeze and I'd need to paperclip reset it.

According to the specs, https://www.kobo.com/koboaurahd/techspecs/, the Kobo's capacity is "4 GB Option to expand up to 32 GB with a Micro SD card", which, on a hunch, suggested that maybe it meant that Kobo's total capacity was 32 GB, not 36 GB. So I repartitioned the SD card to use only 20 of its 32 GB capacity and now it works perfectly. I'm reluctant to push it to 28 GB for now but I'll report when I do.
