I agree it makes some difference and there are some old very slow 4G cards out there. I was suggesting that A2 not being available for 8, 16 or 32G cards wasn't an issue if it's a decent card anyway.

Umm... the issue is not with sending books to the Kobo, the problem is with the normal operations of the Kobo where the underlying Linux OS uses a lot of small block read/writes. This discussion was beaten to death close to a decade ago and I lack any desire to re-fight that war. I've attached a DiskMark test on a local hard drive. The first 3 rows of numbers don't matter that much but the bottom row is, for my purposes, the important numbers. You will notice that in this case, the sequential read is about 100 times the random 4K block with queue width 1/single thread number. Testing a µSd card for a Kobo ereader, that last row has the most effect on the performance of the Kobo during reading.
