am I missunderstanding something in this thread?
isn't that blatant false advertising? I mean, ... how can they legally add an SD card reader that "supports two gig cards" if their software is incapable of handling 2 gb of books?
I was thinking that when I get a reader, I'd put 5gb of books on three SD cards and always have them with me. I sail (for weeks at a time)... and don't like to open my laptop at sea (it usually doesn't work so well because the harddrive shuts off at the top of every wave), and can't really read off an LCD anyways. I can't fire up my laptop every time I want to change books. If you can't store your books on SD cards.... that's absurd.
I really don't understand the problem from a technical perspective. It doesn't have to load every last book into memory just because it's in the SD card. If it does attempt to load every single book into memory, then someone obviously has their head very very far up their ass... am I wrong?
Why should an index of 2gb of books take 1.6gb? I mean, it's nice of them to index the author/title/etc for quick lookup, ... but ... where's the other 1.59gb go?
so... sony doesn't have a QA team or what? no one tried filling the thing with books and turning it on? I'd think that would be the first item on the test plan... wouldn't it?
Do any other ebook readers really have this problem? the hanlin, iliad, cybook, kindle, nuut? anyone know?
