From what I have seen in reviews GlowHD is really easy to open to replace internal uSD 2GB card with larger up to 32GB uSD card. Also easy to copy image of original internal 2GB card to larger card and expanding partition to use unallocated space on larger card is also easy if you can follow instructions. Someone will soon post on youtube how to this for GlowHD.

![]() It is also worth noting that the Glo HD is only the latest model, so it does not indicate a trend. Indeed, the recently introduced H2O does have an external uSD slot. The Glo HD is by no means the only Kobo without an external uSD slot, the older Mini is an example. Given Kobo's tendency to introduce a range of well differentiated devices, I suspect that they will continue to produce and develop models with and without the slot. Then again, it may prove to be an anomaly, like the capacitive touchscreen on the Aura. |

IMHO it seems pretty likely that the removal of the external SD slot on the Glo HD is not a signal of change in direction by Kobo but a cost saving decision on this one model so they can try to offer a better package than Amazon's equivalent mid-range reader for the same price.

@OP. Warning: The Kobo Glo's front-light is rather bright at its lowest setting, so may be uncomfortable in a very dark room. Personally I don't think I could use any front-light in that setting, but that's not everyone's case. If you can get a cheap used one though...
The new Kobo Glo HD is a great price, and though it lacks an external SD-card, it seems likely that that the internal SD-card can be replaced with a larger one, if you have a little tech know-how and can follow instructions. |

Thanks for the input. I think I will go with the H2O. Seems to fit my requirements best.
Regards Kym |
