Calibre doesn't recognize the 64GB microSD card when I connect my Kobo to my computer either. It doesn't look like my problem is slimier to morlaine's.
Firstly, if you get the error message about the format, then the card isn't going to be mounted properly on the device. And that the device won't present it to the PC and hence the PC won't see it. That part of it is working as expected.

As to the 64GB card, Kobo's specs for the Aura H2O state support for 32GB cards. Why, I don't know. It could be a hardware limit, or it could be a software limit. Having said that, while they don't support them, it wouldn't have surprised me if they worked. There have been issues with this in the pas for the older devices. Some people found that some brands beyond the supported size worked, and others didn't. I suspect that you have hit a non-compatible brand.
