Now I just need to find things to fill up my 64gb memory Aura.

Swapping in a class 10 card can be iffy. The larger class 10 cards tend to be optimized for large block read/write speeds while the Kobo ereaders are happier with faster small block read/write speeds. There was quite a bit of discussion about this issue a while back with the conclusion being the most reliable manufacturers for small block speed were SanDisk and Samsung.
Oddly, when I was playing with changing out the internal cards, internet browsing speed was not that noticeably affected. For the most part, an eInk screen is not the best for internet browsing due the slow refresh rate.
