I think you've got the Kindle confused with a different reader. The Kindle is advertised as being able to accept either SD or SDHC cards up to 4 gig in size (not 2). And I know of people who have put an 8 gig sd card in the Kindle (despite it being advertised as only accepting up to 4), and said it worked just fine. I imagine the only real drawback to using the 8 GB card is that it might be a little slow.
