Larger cards are desirable because cards are fragile

I know most of those .txt and .htm files are skimpy, but unless you're installing full size image files on it, you should have room for at least a thousand books on a 2GB card.
Cards are small, easily lost and liable to electrostatic damage (ESD). Card slots wear out quite quickly so the number of insertions should be minimised. So the more memory in a machine, which may be one BIG card which is never removed from its slot, the better. I have already posted my reasons for wanting all my books with me as I travel.
