MicroSD card for the nook - watch out!

OK, the Nook specs said it can hold MicroSD card upto 16GB but I heard people saying the nook can recognize a 32GB card without an issue. To attest, I bought my 32GB from eBay also and the Nook recognized all 32GB and I was about to be wild until I saw some threads regarding fake capacity MicroSD selling on eBay. And I ran some test and it turned out that my "32GB" card is only 2GB - it is deliberately hacked to show 32GB on my PC, and it took me several hours to copy about 28GB files to the card, the files uploaded were initially showing OK, but once you try to retrieve ALL the 28GB files uploaded, you will immediately notice many files (beyond its true capacity) are turning into 0byte entries, then I found I only have about 2GB - well, I paid only $25 so it was not that costly a lesson to learn - just wondering if any of you have tested your 32GB card by any chance, hope you didn't encounter such blatant spam.
