It looks to me like Ectaco mixes the specs for the Jetbook devices, all the time.
It's like they are using a single boilerplate description when providing product info
to retailers. I don't know how many times I've seen an MP3 capability or a Li-lon
battery listed for the JBL, in at least part of the description.

To answer your questions for the JBL at least, it does support SDHC supposedly
up to 32GB. I tried a 16GB SD card in mine once and it seemed to be working fine.

The thing is though, anything over 4GB makes very little sense for the JBL, I have
~7000 ebook files on a 2GB SD card at the moment and there is still almost half a
gigabyte left on the SD card. It makes for a lot of files in some of the ~50 menu
category folders. My "SciFi" folder menu is 126 pages and takes about 20 sec to
load, my "Action" folder menu is 157 pages and takes a couple seconds longer to
load, "Mysteries" is 151 pages. Unless I were to start having a lot of much larger
files (perhaps the .mp3 files for a JB) I would rather use two 2GB SD cards than
have so many files to manage on a single 4GB card. Anything over the 4GB would
likely be a real pain.

Luck;
Ken
