Recently I have been investigating purchase of an 8 or 16 GB Class 6 or Class 10 SDHC card to use as cache for Windows 7 ReadyBoost. I noticed many comments/reviews from folks who experienced critical failures of these cards in their cameras. Failures were also reported for Class 6 cards.I estimated that about 1/4 to 1/3 of all the comments described major SDHC card failures. I recognize that self reported reviews/comments might skew the comments towards reported failures. I think most of those failures were associated with the less expensive cards. There were 16GB Class 10 SDHC cards selling for less than $50 USD from vendors whom I believe were USA-based. I guess that the same card problems would impact their use in some ebook readers.
