Hope you're all having a great day. I have 2 questions pertaining to the Kobo Clara HD:

1. Is it possible to transfer files to the device through wifi/email/ any other wireless/online means?
You can download books using the browser.

2. I was thinking about upgrading my new Kobo Clara HD's SD card and I wanted to ask if it was worth the risk, because I do not suffer from the light bleed issue that people are complaining about.

I am hesitant about popping open the back cover as it seems a surefire way of getting the issue if one does not have it in the first place.

I am aware of the tape mod and think it is doable but I would prefer to avoid all the hassle in the first place.
Opening the Clara HD is simple and fairly safe. I updated the card recently. If I had the replacement card ready, it would have taken 5 minutes to do.

For the light bleed, I suppose there is a risk that you might flex the device in a way that separated the bezel from the screen. That could increase the light bleed. Mine was fairly minimal, but, as I had it half-way apart, I took the bezel off and used a felt-tip pen to blacken the edges of the screen. That has removed the bleed completely.
