I just bought my first one yesterday.
It is 1 gb
Paid $9 - over priced, but all I could find in my small town
Don't yet know exactly how I want to use it/them when I start buying them.

Why didn't you buy from Amazon or some other store online? I already had this, so I'm using this.   But thinking of buying this one.   |

Gee, I think I'll bring mine back right now and go to Kmart. Didn't know there would be that big of a difference in prices.
Thanks for the posts everyone.

I have one of 2 GB. I am keeping my IRS pubs on it. I got it at Best Buy around fathers' day when they were having their "we'll sell you this real cheap in the hopes you come buy something much more expensive" sale.

I just ordered this one...you can never have too much memory...unless your device wont access it.  I plan on adding some pictures and mp3s later on down the line. I don't like audio books but I might buy one some day. It could happen   |

That could be true but: Technical Details Display: 6" diagonal E-Ink® electronic paper display, 600 x 800 pixel resolution at 167 ppi, 4-level gray scale Size (in inches): 7.5" x 5.3" x 0.7" Weight: 10.3 ounces System requirements: None, because it doesn't require a computer Storage: 256MB internal (approximately 185MB available for user content); available SD memory card slot supports up to 4GB SD memory cards (SD memory card not included) |

I'm glad to see that somebody else sprung for the 16 gig. I too read that others were using them on the Amazon boards. Of course, a year ago when they wrote those specs, a 4 gig cost $100 and was cutting edge.

I also saw that someone already had 6 GB of files in SD card and there was no problem at all. |

I got a 4 GB one from Woot for $5.99 and $5 for shipping. BUT it was after this purchase that I had fraudulent activity on my card and had to close it down. That's the first time I dealt with Woot. It might not have been them. But all the other charges on my bill were ones that appear there every month.

I'm using 8 GB right now but if you don't have a lot of mp3, it is too much. LOL That's why I'm thinking of buying 4 GB. I could use 8 GB for something else.

Thanks for your replys. We don't have KMart, they shut it down. My son just went to Target and their 2gb was $30. Don't guess that I will be buying one there. I will check WalMart and Best Buy but figure that I might get one online.
