Correct?

And a standard SanDisk 32 GB class 10 card such as this one would be an appropriate replacement?

Thank you!
Higher than 32GB, I expect. I use a 64GB Samsung UHS-I uSD card on my Glo HD and I remember seeing a poster who tested up to 128GB, I think? I expect the only reason 256GB hasn't been tested yet is due to availability/cost prohibitiveness.

Currently have around 40GB worth of manga (cbz) on my Glo HD. Note, these devices have relatively weak processors so I still wouldn't load tens of thousands of ebooks on them.

Edit: Found the post.

Just to share my experience: I made some trials with my new Glo HD. As I had several microSD around, I checked 32GB, 64GB and 128GB internally.

All of them are Sandisk microSDs Class10, and yes, it works fine with all of them.

As it was already said, I had to reformat from exFAT to FAT32 the 64GB and 128GB with an external tool, but once done no issue for me.
Addendum: Also, just as a warning, fake SD cards are fairly common. Make sure you're buying either directly from Amazon or from an authorized retailer (not just an Amazon marketplace seller).
