For a no-tears solution, stick with 2G. It is plenty large anyway.

The Sony PRS-505 supports (1) 210MB internal flash, (2) up to a 2GB SD card, and (3) up to an 8GB MSPD all concurrently. It also works as a card reader for all 3 when plugged into any USB port.
There are about 3 Sony models, so it gets confusing. It would be less confusing if everyone quoted model numbers for the devices they are referring to.

The fuss is this: We still have works printed in the middle ages, because someone preserved a copy. We are entering a digital dark age due to DRM, where we will loose everything printed over decades - unless a few of us fight it. Pirate torrents may save our civilization.

No, I don't.
To get me to upgrade from the PRS-505, just add any of these:
1. More formats (.chm, .html, .lit, .ogg)
2. Load files w/o a PC (USB OTG or network connection)
3. Text Input, (keyboard, or Touch Screen)
4. Let me read the PDF without tiny text (Larger screen, or Arbitrary zoom & panning, or let me adjust the margins)
5. SDK
6. Directory Browsing
7. The ability to play with it before buying.
You’ve got me thinking about dropping my PRS-505 for an iRex or an Hanlin, if I can ever see one up close.
