With the new firmware I have had no issues using an 8 Gb SDHC card (Sandisk Extreme III) but large amounts of books will slow your reader down to a crawl or even render it unusable. It rebuilds the internal book database after each disconnect or (re)boot and anything over 2500 books will probably drain the battery before it finishes, making it painfully obvious that it was not designed with large libraries in mind. A file manager is called for before that becomes feasible.

So I've filled it up with high-quality manga and other comics/graphic novels/whatever the hell you want to call them, they eat space like crazy. I only slot it when the mood grabs me, but I have no complaints about the battery life.
