what a strange choice of links - you could buy several NEW readers for less than anything they have to offer

A company that lists IBM , Sony and US Army & Navy as clients ,and has "ask for a quote" on line 1, is probably not that interested in sending a team to fix your Clara reader

These two tools worked fine for me in the past under XP, 8, 10. And they are free.

You want to download both those files to your PC. Note that neither of these files does an install, you just run the downloaded executable. For my purposes, I have them in a directory called Flash_Clone where I also store the cloned image files.

Those links are most probably deprecated, i doubt she will be able to find the soft there. It is still there but it took me some time to find the soft.Cant find it again, but i put them on cloud drive.

Barbara, you can get them from this link

Is it worth it?: If you're asking yourself this, it probably isn't worth it. It already has an external slot while giving you access to an internal slot ...
It's only worth doing this on a Reader with no External slot.

My Kindle PW has about 3G of space for books.

I've only 16G SD cards in external slots as few PDFs are suitable and about 18,000 to 20,000 regular books, on average, might fit. It didn't seem worth paying more for 32G cards. Only my Kindles and PRS350 don't take SD card.

However add external card and use it for the purchased books. Put the "out of copyright" / Public Domain etc on the internal store.

I just tried a step by step copy of my 8GB Clara HD image from when I saved it for cloning to the Clara HD's current 32GB uSD card to another 32GB card.

First step was to copy the image to the new card. Took a while but I managed to read a few pages while it happened. After the copy, I started PW11 and the drive appeared as in the first image. I then right clicked on the F:KOBOeReader partition and then selected Extend Partition. This brought up the Extend Partition dialogue where I simply moved the slider to the right edge leaving no free space and maximizing the user accessible storage then clicked on OK. At this point, I clicked on Apply which brought up the progress dialogue in the third image. After this completed, I had a card with the partitioning shown in the fourth image.

Pretty much exactly what was in the Glo Memory Upgrade Mod Guide thread.

My suggestion is, If you don't know the basics of PC application installation I would advise against messing around with applications that have the capability of erasing your data.

If you persist I would suggest you first back up all your data to a separate drive or memory device.

What happens if you try re-writing the image? Note that Windows will not show the 2 ext4 partitions nor the free space so mounting the card in Windows will not show the full space available.

You might also want to download the SD Association formatter from SD Memory Card Formatter for Windows Download -- click Accept for the EULA and the download will start. This has worked for me in past when the structure of an SD card has been trashed.
