I've had good luck getting real ones ordering retail packaged cards from Amazon. Deals sites, eBay, etc, will mostly have fakes.

Class 4 cards usually have the best small chunk read/write speeds, but I don't know if that makes a huge difference. The failure rates for Sandisk class 10 seems to be small, and I don't know that I've seen people complaining about class 6 cards.
Thanks for the warning. I have an 8gb Sandisc card I bought from currys, it was £14.99, they want £24.99 for the 16gb. It works great, both in my Simple Touch and Nook HD. I saw what 'looked' like the same 16gb on Amazon for £9.99. I wonder if that's a fake. I'd rather pay the high street prices if fakes are a problem.
