I recently purchased the Firefly and am delighted to have it. The internal 8 GB storage is adequate for me starting out, but I know I'll want more space eventually. However, it uses a much smaller card than my last e-book reader, so I'll need to go purchase a proper microSD card for it. What is the max capacity I can use (and what type? microSD, microSDHC, etc.), and where do you recommend I purchase one? I live in the US.

I've tried to look up stats on what SD card to get and have found conflicting reports: Wikipedia says it requires TF, or specifically TransFlash, which apparently is NOT compatible with SDHC, yet Onyx says 32GB which would only be possible with SDHC according to what I've read. Confused! Any help would be welcomed.
