Kobo Glo HD Upgrading to bigger microsd
I have have managed to upgrade the 4GB internal to a 32GB sandisk card using this guide http://www.clonemysdcard.com/en/ you have to click on older posts to view the rest of the guide. As far as I can tell everything is working as it should be.

Thanks for reporting this. I was 95% sure that the failure reported by the original article was because the original card had not been copied correctly. You have eliminated my 5% doubt.

Was your Kobo Glo HD hard to open, and/or hard to reassemble?

I just had to pry it loose with a flathead screwdriver. Snapped back into place afterwards.

Thanks. I tested it with a Patriot Signature Class 10 SD card following the procedure in here It worked without any problem.

I use a plastic name card to pry it open.

Guitar picks work well to open the case.

How do you expect to store any reasonable library on a piddly 64 GB SD card?

You need a 128 GB card!

The card would be more expensive than the Glo HD!

Hah. You need one of THESE! And that's certainly going to be more expensive that the Glo HD (In fact, it's about three times the price)
