The iLiad can handle CF memory cards larger then 2gig. Also, if you have a 505, you can use larger then 2gig if you use a memory stick. Plus you can also put in a 2gig SD card at the same time for 10gig combined.


But, I was talking about the current crop of 6" screen based devices. I know the 9.7" screens will be much better for larger images and PDF. So there could very well be the need for more then a 2gig SD card.


I was also talking about todays 6" screen based readers where the interfaces are not all that wonderful organizing content. The Sony is not bad overall and collections do help a lot plus the new menu options for finding content. But what I've read of the Gen3, it needs a bit of work. I'm hoping that the interface on the 9.7" devices makes it a lot easier to manage content in quantity.
Quite honestly, if the Cybook (or any eink reader for that matter) had a really great folder nav system and support for 16GB cards, I'd put ALL my ebooks on and never take them off! I can't tell you how many times I've re-read the W.E.B. Griffin series, "The Corps". And then there are my individual favorites - L. Neil's "Tom Paine Maru", David Weber's "Empire from the Ashes", Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" (That one was a bear to scan in, let me tell you!).

I'm looking forward to the day when I can reasonably expect to have my complete fiction library, my technical library and my non-fiction general reading library at my fingertips on my eInk reader.
