So Wiki is wrong (it wouldn't be the first time! As wonderful a resource as it is, you shouldn't take its info as perfect). And so are the writeups. Those writeups are examples of virus-like spreading of an incorrect piece of information. I HAVE the Kindle, and I'm telling you, the documentation clearly states it supports up to 4GB. Here's a URL for you:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...27480&#storage
From that page, here is the key bit of info: "Kindle also has an expansion slot for a Secure Digital (SD) memory card that supports storage capacity of up to 4GB."
I also have online friends who have tried 8 GB SD cards, and it is reading all but a tiny portion of it. An Amazon customer rep told me that they just haven't tested all SD cards and all SD card sizes, so they wrote their documentation on the conservative side (I had had a bad SD card for my Kindle, and so was working with them on the issue).
