Now that is very interesting. I have noticed that my Kobo Mini is considerably slower now with the 8 gigabyte microSD card. It's not unusable, but it is a Kingston card, and now I have a reason why it's so much slower. I'll make sure to pick up a SanDisk card when I upgrade to 32 GB.
These microSD cards aren't just for storage. They're the internal hard drives that hold the operating system. Slow performance will affect everything, which is why I became keen on card speed.
