Kobo Glo HD memory upgrade advice?

chongjasmine · 02-05-2022, 09:47 AM

Is it a very difficult process to upgrade memory for kobo glo hd?
Considering between buying a 4gb glo hd and upgrade it to 256gb, or buying a refurbished 32 gb kobo glo hd.
But the problem with refurbished 32 gb glo hd, is , it cannot fit all my ebooks collection, which amounts to 60 gb worth of books.
My decision between the 4gb glo hd or 32 gb glo hd lies in how difficult it is to upgrade memory for glo hd.
Kindly appreciate any help given!

Not hard at all. I upgraded to 128GB since that was the largest card I could find locally at the time. I've been tempted to upgrade to larger than 256GB, but I'm also lazy and just haven't gotten around to it. Just make sure you have an adequate tool to pry the back cover off with. You could hit up an online store like iFixit to get a tool kit specific for servicing mobile devices, but I used a plastic guitar pick instead; my local musical instrument store was selling used ones for 10 cents. Works great.

Can you point me to a site with steps to upgrade memory? I heard that for memory larger than 32 gb, you need some extra steps?

By the way, I just purchased the 4gb glo hd. Warranty is not an issue for me, since my product has no warranty and is refurbished.
