I suspect the old Simple Touch would work just fine. I know it wasn't a powerhouse, but I don't read image heavy stuff on my readers anyway.
I ordered an SD card. When it arrives, I'll load the Nook ST up and see how it goes.

The typical resolution for book covers for me is around 1650X2200. I also don't have many books that have maps or heavy illustrations, so the only thing I can choke the reader with is the cover. I'll let you know what happens.

I also wondered how many books the Nook ST database could handle?
