This morning I upgraded the 8Gb SD card to a 256Gig card. The new card is a Class 10 SDXC one.
I used Arch Linux, dd, GParted. The whole process took about 40 minutes.
1. Use `dd` to create an image of the card: dd if=/dev/sda of=~/kobo-clara-had.img bs=4M
2. Use `dd` to image the file to a new 256GB card: dd if=~/kobo-clara-had.img of=/dev/sda bs=4M
3. Use GParted to resize the /dev/sda3 partition
4. Reinsert the SD card into the Clara
5. Boot, it will show there is an error, and choose "Factory restore"
6. Re-setup, and login, and it's ready to use. During this step it also downloaded an update from the internet.
I am pretty sure that as long as the card is SDXC it will work in the Clara HD, even if it's the 400GB card I almost bought.
Warning: If you plan on using this method please ensure that you are using the correct device ID. Mine was `/dev/sda` but yours could be different.

64gig replacement being routinely done by users in this forum and I think it is the most cost effective size. The hardware is capable up to 128gig in theory. |
