Ain't it grand? I recall when the first flash memory cards started appearing (the SmartMedia cards which have gone the way of the dodo) prices were like $70 for 256MB!
Now if Sony will just address the 4GB card issues and make such a card usable for those of us who wish to use such cards, along with improving the indexing and listing of huge quanitities of books in a soon-to-be-forthcoming firmware update, life will be even better.
As it is, I have stopped using any memory cards at all to lengthen battery-charge life and to increase speed.
