The speed is an issue when the card is inserted and the Touch is processing the new books. I understand that the size of the individual books is relatively small.

Processing the books on a card should take significantly less time on a class 10 card than on a class 2 card.

Basically, I want to get a card that isn't needlessly faster than the Touch can read/write to. But I do want to get a card that is as fast as the Touch can read/write.

I was hoping that one of the Kobo tech people would know the answer...
