Just takes a bit of management on the PRS 600... I add books (whether 1 or more) just before going to bed and let it rescan overnight (plugged into wall adaptor) and it's ready next morning. I NEVER plug into USB for a recharge... it's slower than adaptor and requires the sony rescan... no brainer as far as I'm concerned.
I agree to a degree about the ad hype for a 16GB card but, to be fair, if you provide SDHC support then you get 16GB card support... there is also another solution used by another member here... bigger books... suggestion is to put entire series into a single book with ToC pointing to individual titles for access... the rescan looks at files and grabs metadata but doesn't look at entire content of a file hence 100 X 10MB files take longer than 10 X 100MB files even if data content is the same.

To me it's a bit of advertising hype for Sony to state 16 gig as a limit. It falsely leads you to believe you can actually use all of it for book storage, and then you go out and needlessly blow money on a big card. If you absolutely had to have that many books ported with you, it would be best to spread them out over a series of 1-2 gig cards.
