It's been a couple of years since even the 505 had a firmware update to support SDHC and I'm happily using a 16GB card. Having said that, there is a problem in that the more books you add, the slower the intitial restart whilst the reader reindexes everything.
I've got that problem solved as I have a 505 customised with PRS+ but these options aren't available for later models.

i took the card out of my reader and loaded those onto it- put it back in the reader and it started loading for an hour or so. At this point i'm thinking it's having to load all 15 or so gigs again.
I know it is completely unnecessary to have this much on your reader. I admit it is probably some weird OCD thing. I have always been kind of a book hoarder (paper books) so Ive been collecting ebooks for years now specifically for the day that i had a reader. I figured since theres a search function, why not get the biggest card money could buy and and simply dump anything resembling an ebook onto it?
my question is, will 16 gigs actually NOT WORK? at all? because it did seem like it had loaded all of them this morning.
