What brand of memory card should I use on my reader?

swt_decadent · 04-08-2009, 06:07 AM

I want to update my memory since my reader actual memory is full already. I will be mostly using it on mangas. I check sony memory card and it said that its only compatible with the 700. I also read that 4gb memory doesn't really work. What brand shoulld I get and how many memory is allowed? I wanted it to be able to load faster and turn page faster.

Using a memory card will be slower than using the onboard memory. The larger the card is, the slower it will be as well.

I only keep a small selection of the books I'm planning to read on my 505. As I finish them, I delete them from the reader. My complete ebook collection gets stored on the computer and backed-up to memory card and usb drive. I don't keep the card in the 505, only put it in to load books.

I take it magnas are large files? I'm pretty sure there is a thread around here about SD cards, I'll try to find it.

sandisk work well but go for the high speed cards and pay a little more - its worth it. 2gb max for SD for could performance with the 505. The only problem is the number of fakes around at the moment. I got caught with an amazon marketplace seller. Play.com for uk buyers gives good value and NO I dont work there!
