It's difficult to accurately calculate how many books 240 mb holds. The largest graphic novel I've ever borrowed from the library was 198 mb (Fantastic Four #1). A quick glance shows that my ePub paperback length books range in size from 200 kb - 2 mb. Longer books, books with graphics (even chapter art) or embedded fonts and PDFs have quite large file sizes. I have 80 side-loaded items on my nook, and it's full.
Sigh. And I just bought an 8Gb microSD to fit most of the books I wanted to carry with me. Most of my books are plain ePub, do not take so much room, but it is the principle which galls me.it should work!! Hope the next FW upgrade will fix it, it should be a problem of mounting sequence.
