Not true, or at least not true for Memory Stick storage. I have a 4Gb Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo formatted in FAT32 which works fine with the Reader.
However, I also have a 4Gb Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo HIGH SPEED card which doesn't work - something to do with the way the memory is implemented and accessed on the High Speed cards. Likely this is the problem with the Adata card.

There are some implementations of FAT which support up to 4Gb, although I don't know why anyone would want to use this if FAT32 is supported instead. FAT32 has a much smaller cluster size for any given partition size, with the result that far less space is wasted in "slack space" when you have a large number of relatively small files (such as ebooks).
