If you're looking to document all this then you might want to add what software to use to clone and repartition. Here are a couple of free apps I use.

Cloning: https://download.cnet.com/USB-Image-...-75449768.html

Re-partitioning: https://www.partitionwizard.com/free...n-manager.html

Also try to avoid the term copy because people might confuse the term cloning with copy and paste. It does not work that way.

  • 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.
