Yeah, the manual is a bit sketchy on this regard. It says: "An operation check is performed when using a "Memory Stick" of up to 4 GB. However, operation of all "Memory Stick" is not guaranteed."

And the same with SD card, except "2 GB" instead of 4.

To me, that seems to imply that perhaps 4GB Memory Sticks and 2GB SD *might* work, but aren't supported. I would be very surprised if 4GB SD cards worked.

What brand SD card did you use, Bob?

Edit: BTW, before anyone goes and buys cards - the Reader comes with quite a bit of built-in memory. The Connect software says 91.9 MB total!
