They don't probably because of the scan. I've managed to cram about 250 books into the on-board memory, certainly more than I can read at one time. The scan takes about a minute. For the people with 8G+ cards, what are you keeping on them? I'd hope not a few thousand books, your scans must take a looong time.

Oh, and it does a scan after I've attached it to a computer (even if I didn't change anything, just to charge) or after a complete power down and start up (not sleep mode). So I'd say a scan is a fairly common occurrence unless you plan on loading it up once, never do a full power-down (only sleep) and only using an AC adapter to charge it. Even then you're going to trigger a scan once in a while I bet. A 16G card with thousands of books on it is going to be painful.
