Hello, everyone! I hope you're all doing well and having fun with your latest books. I hope this is the right place to ask.

I'm an avid comic/manga reader and I usually read different titles during long trips. We recently ran into a Clara BW, which seems to be easier to hold and carry than a Libra 2, and we wanted to give it a try. But the storage is only 16GB, of which only 11GB are available.

I saw some videos of people opening their Kobos and replacing the original SD card for a bigger card with a partition... But I read someone else say that the card in Kobo Clara BW is actually fused.

Is this true? Is it still possible to replace the card if that's the case? Any tips, recommendations or doable alternatives? Is the SD card partition really needed?

Also, if you happen to be a KOReader user... I read they have a cloud option to download and manage files through Wi-fi connection. Is that a good alternative?

Thanks! Have a nice week, everyone!
