If you get books from other sources, I recommend the free program Calibre. It will give you the choice of whether to put the books into main memory or on the Micro SD card.

By the way, on most Kobo models the main memory IS a Micro SD card -- just one that happens to be hidden under the back cover plate. In other words, you have two now, and there's no particular advantage to having books on one or the other.
of course there's an advantage to using the external micro SD card slot it allows up to another 32GB worth of books rather than only the 4GB internal memory. the original Aura 6" doesn't have a micro SD card inside.
