The Kobo devices have no ability to format the external SD card. The only things they do when you insert the card to the device is to add one directory (it starts with "kobo" but I can't remember what it's called) and search the card for books it can add the library.

If you are using calibre, there is an advantage to sending the books to the card while it is in the device. But, this is about tracking what is on the card, not any inability for the device to handle books put on the card directly.
