-I bought a 16gb microSD card thinking 'bigger is better' but I am wondering that if once the booting software if on there, if I'll even be able to save and access my own media files on it. Does the SD card become 'dedicated?'

Thanks all.
Go to and read these threads, don't have to read all of the first one below but if you follow the instructions in first post you will be fine. The second link is concerning SD cards. Some work much better than others. If you can get a Sandisk class 4 you will have no problems. IMO 8gb is plenty. You can also use your Nooks memory for things if needed.
