Many of the ebooks that I read are holograph scans of old books available from Google Books, and some of them are immense; The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge (1911) is over 85 MB all by itself. Put a few of those on a 2GB card and you're out of card fairly quickly.

I think some people get the Sony capabilities and the Amazon capabilities mixed up. The Sony does not go beyond 2 Gig and will not work with SDHC but will accept the 4Gig cards that are not SDHC.
Several people in the forum have indicated that 4 Gig cards on Amazon Kindle were recognized and they did fill them past 2 Gig. I am not sure about 8 Gig but there is a huge amount of confusion and assumptions going on without facts.
