  4. Jolla can't read it because its exFAT
  5. Jolla tablet suggests to re-format...


The suggestion that Jolla should format the card to a file system that's hopefully compatible to Windows, OSX and a number of cameras, ebook-readers and other gadgets only works if the Jolla tablet is the first device a user will plug the card into after he bought it. That will very likely not be the case.
It's a normal practice for many cameras which suggest exactly the same thing. So it shouldn't be uncommon for the user to see such behavior. If it's not the first device, user will back up files, format the card and copy files back.
