Kobo hides SD card upgrade, just as snake hides it's legs.

Since the card is new, it is labeled as fat. No surprise here.
Taking it out of plastic cover, I mkfs.ext3 it. No more, no less.

Seems to be pretty happy card so far. You wonder why I have
no more data on the subject. My reader is on the way, I have
no hands on it yet. The firmware on it is old and manufacturer
has better one, version 1.4. I will reflash as soon as I can.

Sd card should be inserted first. Middle button on the pad
has to be pressed and the reader powered up. It takes some
time, without human interference. Nothing more. Upgrade via
usb adapter often fails, but I cannot say what errors are.
SD card upgrade never failed, or it was not reported back.
The very reason I wanna do that this way.
K, when I get the reader, will try to use card I made. If it
has something to complain, gonna make the same card with
fdisk first.
Thanx all.
