This is purely an academic question.

The PRS-505 has those expansion ports for Memory Sticks and SD cards. I have an 8 GB SD card - if I were to somehow fill that up, that would be a whole lot of books. Is the PRS-505 capable of holding that many books?

If not, does anybody know how many can it handle? Or, is there a hard restriction on how big the memory cards can be?

It looks like it creates a DB file on the card when the card is inserted. I suppose that file could grow as big as it needed to be, though the device may become unmanagable if there were to many books on it.
