Class 4: 4 MByte/s - 26x
Class 6: 6 MByte/s - 40x
SanDisk Extreme III—maximum speed of 30 MByte/s (200x)
SanDisk Extreme IV—up to 45 MByte/s (300x)


I'd rather wait and save up to get Extreme card, before resorting to a class 4, but that's just related to my previous painfull experience.
But, with respect, the "class" of the card primarily relates to how fast the card can be written, and only really matters for such things as "continuous shooting" with a digital camera. eBooks are small, and the whole file is not read at one time. Do you have any actual evidence that a "fast" card has any performance gain on the Reader compared to a slow one?
