What for?
Having more than 2TB of HDDs in my computer I really know that there is no such thing as too big storage but for Christ's sake...
When I bought my PRS-505 I lamented on how big Memory Stick I should buy but the internal memory is more than enough (having 60 books and more than 100 megs free) - I see no reason to store every book on the reader and even if you do 2 gigs is enough for more than 1000 books - reading a new one every other day means the card will serve you for almost six years. As for storing pictures and music on the reader - it is simply stupid. Wanna listen to music while reading - use an mp3 player (iPod for the clueless). Wanna look at pictures in 4 or 8 shades of grey? No comment. Readers (currently) are to read - full stop. Later on with newer technologies they can be Swiss Army Knives like our current cell phones - but then they won't be (just simple) readers any more.
