They might come preformatted like that but you can pick whichever filesystem you please. So if formatting with FAT32 solves the issue, there's nothing wrong with doing that.
My WebPortal mod has a ServiceMenu applet that lets you check the internal and sd card for read errors, I think KSM had something similar? With it you could check whether the card is recognized at all (even if unformatted)
Kobo only supports ext2/3/4 filesystems (but not on the SD cards, unless you mod it - I posted a hack for that
here, not sure if it still works) and FAT16/FAT32. So anything else like ntfs/exfat/etc. won't work.
Kobo expects the SD card to have a single partition (number 1) with FAT32 filesystem.
