Is the issue that you don't have a credit card or that you don't trust on-line shops with it? If the latter, I can state that I have had no issues with Kobo in the four years I have been buying books from them. I don't remember anyone reporting problems with credit card charges from Kobo that weren't fixed. Admittedly, a couple of them took more than one contact, but that seems to be the exception, not the norm.
I can say for certain the Kobo Glo does not support 64GB microSD cards. I don't know about recent ereaders but I have asked people before and no one has even heard of an ereader that supports over 32GB extra storage. A lot of ereaders will not list how much storage can be expanded upon at all. Tablets can support over 32GB extra storage but thats not what I want. Most ebooks do not take up a ton of space and 3GB is probably plenty for most people. However I am one of the few that space is an issue and would love the device to allow for as much extra space as possible. I havent dealt wit Kobo support so I would not know how well they operate. Plenty of reviews on their website suggest their products have horrible support though. I usually deal with cash instead of card. I have tried looking at best buy the only store nearby that Kobos online site claims sell their gift cards, in my region. They don't have any available. So, moving to their website they cant be purchased there either.
