Kobo Glo HD memory upgrade on Linux

Received my reader today and couldn't wait to upgrade memory and load all my stuff. Well tutorials which I saw were all for windows. I foung in gparted that my Kobo card in SD reader is SDE and 32GB card in USB reader is SDD. So I just used below command:

sudo dd if=/dev/sde of=/dev/sdd

7744512+0 read records
7744512+0 written records
copied 3965190144 bytes (4.0 GB), 3042.42 s, 1.3 MB/s


It took about 1 hour but worked ok, ereader booted and everything works so far. 29 GB left for my library. 
You can use sudo nmon to monitor activity.
