Amazon sent me this SD card by mistake (I ordered a 4 gb version). I offered to send it back, but they said to keep it. Just wanted to agree that even though it's HUGE, it works in my K1 just fine! |

Geaniebeanie,
The Kindle 1 has a slot for an SD card, one can move books onto the card either on the Kindle or through the USB connection with the computer. The Kindle 2 has no SD card slot and the SD card can't be used with the Kindle 2.

No SD on the KDX either. I wonder ... if I could attach the USB Kindle cord to a Flashdrive. Hmmmm. May give it a try. |

Probably not. Did you try it? :-) Yes, it is a male that plugs into the USB port and so is the flashdrive. Darn! |

I purchased the Transcend 16GB SD card (class 6) per the recommendations of the users on this board who have had success in using it on the Kindle.
I have the Kindle 1, and I get the error message "The inserted SD memory card could not be read. Please reformat the card or use a different, compatible card."
Did you have to do anything special to it to get the Kindle to recognize it?

Someone on the boards said that 8 GB SD card was the maximum usable card that the kindle 1 can handle.
When I was in J&R and buying my netbook, I purchased a couple of SD cards. The sales person asked me how old my notebook at home is and said it probably couldn't read a card that has more than 2 GBs, so I bought a couple of those.
Has anyone here been able to use a 16 GB SD card in their K1?

I have one in mine, no trouble in the 6 months I have used it. A couple of others also had or have the 16 GB cards.

Yes, I have a Transcend 16 GB SD card in my K1. I ordered a 4 GB, but they sent the wrong one (and told me to keep it.) I must have 600 books on it, and it still says 14.5 GB free.  |

OK, then I'm wrong. When I bought SD cards at J&R, the sales person asked me how old my laptop is. I told him that I bought it in 2006. He told me not to use anything bigger than a 2GB SD card in my computer. I didn't know that the kindle could handle the 16GB. I was buying the cards mainly to transfer things from my big laptop to my netbook.
I'm glad to hear this, so that I can use mega SD cards myself in future in my K1.

I don't think the size of the card is the problem. I beleive what others have said, and I could be remembering incorrectly, but the problem is with the K1 indexing and the amount of time it would take with a large card holding a large amount of books. You can always use the 16GB to store your books on and then remove it when you don't need to access those books.

That's not true. Older laptops handle SD cards well. |

I wonder why the rep in the store advised me not to go over 2Gig for my laptop that I bought in 2006? I haven't filled up the 2 gig card yet anyway.

I agree older laptops and handle larger SD cards just fine. And what the prices now so cheap for 8GB there is little reason not to go with the larger size!  |

She probably told you that because that's what someone else told her. |

I know there was a point where the max size for an SD card was 2GB and some devices would not work with the larger sizes, when they appeared.
