The Wiki makes it seem like these cards above 2 GB were sanctioned devices but they never were and it is only a fluke that they even work with the standard drivers and whether they work on your device is very hit or miss.

The standard for 4 Gig and above is only SDHC cards which are formatted FAT32. Cybook is a bit non-standard in that it prefers FAT32 on regular SD cards but again this is not according the SD committee standard which specifies FAT (FAT16) on 2 GB cards.
