Summary of SDHC card / memory increase (so far)

Thanks again for the information. Lets see if I can summarize so far, in case others are interested in expanding the Clara's memory:
  • The OEM internal microsd card is 4GB, but the Kobo Clara can "see" 64GB or more.
  • To increase the Clara's storage, the 4GB card must be cloned [copied to] to the larger card (thus transferring the firmware).
  • Although Kobo recommends FAT32 formatting of the SDHC card, cards in the range of 64GB and above can use exFAT.
  • The larger card should have a single partition.

If I have made any errors in my summary, please correct them!


Additional information:
  • The Clara can be opened by carefully "splitting" the top and bottom portions, as shown in earlier photos. When done, the halves can be snapped together.
  • Class 10 cards have been used, because they have much higher speed capabilities than lower classes. However, the maximum transfer rate is determined by the device.
  • When purchasing the larger card, be careful - counterfeit cards are quite numerous. Purchase from a reputable dealer.
