planning to buy prs505sc these couple days for my gf, but don't know which memory card to go - SD? pro duo? Or some suggested 2Gb SD + 8Gb PD = 10Gb? possible?

This reader will majority be her reader, and secondary mp3 player.

most people stated that reader can't read data after 2Gb in SD. is all 2Gb are ebooks? how about 1Gb for ebooks and 2Gb mp3 in a single memory card?

my target is about 4Gb ( e.g. <1G ebooks and about 3+Gb for mp3), is it possible in one memory card? or do i need to split it into 1Gb SD (or ProDuo) for reading, 4Gb Pro Duo(or SD) for music?

Has anyone done any stress test on his/her reader? e.g. continously reading and listening music to see how long the battery can last? Heard lot of pros about its battery can run extremely long, but how about reading plus music playing togther? or just playing music?

(oh sorry, i think i read somewhere people'd mentioned that Panasonic's SD is better (faster?). i just checked them online, and found they have few different classese (e.g. class 2, class 4 and class 6), also High Speed (HS 5Mb/s) or Super High speed (up to 133X) ? which is better? any different? )
newbie,
Mark
