Newbie questions - max memory, USB and Froyo

Hi all,
I have purchased a Nook Color and it is on the way. Cant wait.

I have a number of questions, many of which this forum has helped me answer but I have a few left over...

1. Now B&N state that it comes with 8Gb RAM and can be expanded to 32Gb - does this mean that an additional 32Gb MicroSD card with bring it to 40Gb total or will it only address a total of 32Gb, thus 8Gb is wasted (so perhaps I should get a 16Gb Micro SD)?

2. I would like to use the NC to view pictures from my digital camera, which has a normal SD card. Is there are way to do this without first transferring to a PC then uploading via the USB cable or copy to the MicroSD? When travelling I would rather not take a PC and the NC to acheive this. I guess the NC would need to be a USB "host" for this to work - not sure if it is. I guess a product such as this may be an option.

3. When the update for Andriod 2.2 comes out, do you think the usual rooting process will work with it? I am tempted to wait for this update but may still want to root it...

4. I am in Australia and purchased the Nook from the B&N website, having it shipped to USA address (a frieght forwarder) Can I expect to be able to purchase B&N eBooks via WiFi? I am wondering if it will detect my IP address and not let me get eBooks since I am not in USA. This is not a huge problem since I can get eBooks elsewhere, just wondering...


many thanks,
Graham
