Perhaps they use a specific method to cripple the 4 gigs? or that the 4 gigs is actually accessible after a factory reset and nobody has actually noticed?
Or perhaps upon resizing the partition the first time I altered the partition table permanently in a way that kobo can use later?
Like the Kobo perhaps can't format a card fully, but can alter what is already there? Or that it can only alter the file table, but not the partition table?
I don't fully know what I'm talking about clearly, but that seems like it COULD be right ;-)
So if you don't resize the partition after cloning the microsd card to the bigger card, will a factory reset still work to show the full drive?
I, for one, am not curious enough to open my device right now to find out.
