The PRS-950 has two memory slots. One is for SD memory and the other is for Sony's Memory Stick Duo. I bought a 4GB SD memory card and it seems to work fine. Can I also insert a Memory Stick Duo in the other slot and have them both work at the same time? Calibre seems to indicate that I have an A and B slot and that the SD card is in the B slot while the A slot is not active. Has anyone tried to use both slots at the same time? That means that the max memory on line at any one time could be 66GB (a 32GB memory stick, a 32GB SD card and 2GB internal. I don't know what you'd need all that for (maybe you need the Library of Congress available at all times) but it's an interesting idea.

BTW, I bought a Sony cover with a light and I really like it. The only problem I see is that the closure is not really secure. It's OK for me but I'm thinking of using a rubber band to keep it closed if I have to take it out of the house.
