Well, you are right, but most vendors ask for much more for built-in flash.
Furthermore, lager flash drives tend to be also faster, although it is not a firm rule.

I think I will end up getting the perk, and adding an extra 64Gb flash as well.

They're not providing exFAT out of the box, plus the battery size has been bumped up a bit:

Yes! You spoke and we listened! We've introduced the 64GB Jolla Tablet version, the battery size of the Jolla Tablet has been slightly increased to 4450mAh (previously 4300mAh), the display is now fully laminated, and we've added gyroscope and compass sensors. Regarding the 1st stretch goal (memory card support up to 128GB), we’ve decided to move forward with an open source memory card solution. This enables you to use memory cards up to 128GB on your Jolla Tablet for back-ups and additional storage, but due to Microsoft’s licensing limitations, cards over 32GB will not be directly compatible with Windows computers. We feel that this suits best to our community's wishes and the open source ideology of Jolla.

You say that the up to 128GB memory cards are not supported for Windows computers. Why is that?

i mean, its better if i have all data external on a microsd card. If the tablet or phone is broken, i will loose all my data (pictures, videos.....). This is why i think if i will upgrade my from 32gb to 64gb or i spend this money for a external 64GB for 25€ and get on the end 32+64gb space

Not happy at all about the lack of Windows support for larger cards after watching how that whole debate unfolded here.

Also, I wonder what 'directly compatible' means. If they can be indirectly compatible somehow without much effort than I'm fine with it.

I'd rather have something useful than "safe".

It is compatible out of the box until 32 GB Flash memory.
And you can make it compatible formatting the bigger SD-Card with Fat32.
Only limitations: You can't do that with windows, but you can use a live-CD for that. And files bigger than 4GB are not supported.

Drekkie, it is difficult to provide all satisfied.
Many thought it was not good to get a license in MS.
Then came the arguments that it was no longer safe and no "open source" device is.

It is proably not even completely true. You will probably still format with FAT fs and access the card from windows and the tablet if you need. And for smaller sd cards, there is no issue at all.

Smaller cards are what I generally use as "floppy replacement" anyway.

I guess you can still use FAT32 for <=64GB SDCards, thus using it with Windows should still work.

I think you can use FAT32 for larger cards as well, although Windows will not format without some extra tool. You forfeit large file support in this case, but it is a possible tradeoff.
