A few weeks ago, I picked up the limited Nook ST and a lovely case for it as partial presents for my grillfiend's birthday. Since I'd rather deliver the gifts unopened but want her to have instant access to a decent library, I'd like to format a 4GB Class 4 microSD card for the ST and add some carefully chosen ePub books (and possibly PDFs, though I've read there's no point).

Is there anything I need to know about file names or anything else, and how would I format the card for the Nook on a PC or a Mac (since I have access to both)? I'm assuming the ST likes FAT32.

Any quick answers would be appreciated, as I'd love to do this in the next 15 hours before I see her.
