Word from two forum members here is that SDHC is now supported up to 32GB.
Tangent...
I've got a 4 gig in mine since .g came out so there are three of us at least. So far it s good except it seems hyper sensitive -- I was reading while charging and it kept thinking the card had to be refreshed (It seems fine with the little cover closed.)

Anyway back to the question asked:

* Another vote for DRM.... yeah, its evil. But its a feature the jetBook lacks that every other reader has. With Sony's new Overdrive library pitch there could be extra incentive even on the 'free' book side.
* Bigger on/off button or maybe a switch.
* Ratings for read books
* Ability to delete folders
* I don't need the dictionary or MP3s or pictures so would personally toss those.
* More font gradients zooming. 16 is a bit big, 12 is too small.
* True Type font support.
* PDF reflow.. wrapping. Any format, actually (though I suppose it'd mess up poetry.)
* A bigger screen (but still cheap price) for reading oversized, graphics heavy computer books.
* Better Mac support -- the USB cable locks every time so I have to use a card reader, plus it won't unmount disks... they constantly re-add themselves.
* RTF (I believe that is the format) page smartly compute for the page button without needing the arrows to advance the rest of the display.
* Arrow down properly compute how far to advance. (May be a bug, though. I noticed it with G that arrow down carries an extra sentence or two at the top of the screen.)
* Wireless download from my NAS/Desktop
* Desktop Software -- sync the read list and above ratings to some sort of tracking system. Could also store book-connected notes, etc.
* Touch screen for highlighting and pen-based note taking
* Color! Its LCD, why can't they make it color -- get the PixelQi screen.
* A little checklist so I can go through those 'books you must read in your lifetime' lists and check them off.
