I was, at the same time, considering getting a 4gb Kingston card for my EZReader (it came with a 2gb Kingston) and thought perhaps I could try sticking the Polaroid 8gb in it first to see if it would even work.

It did. So NOW...the plan is to not worry about also buying a bigger card for the reader and just get the bigger, faster card for the camera then move its current card to the reader.
I think the GB size isn't the real issue, but how fast the unit can access a filled card. If it chugs along at a snails pace while accessing an 8gb, then they rate it as supporting a 4gb.

Maybe the pocketpro can access a filled up 16gb releatively quickly, but turtles at a filled 32. Hence they rate it as supporting a 16gb.

Ooooh! Look what I just did! I used the word turtle as a verb!!! I now claim the honor of being the FIRST person to perform this task. Give me my crown!
