SD Cards

[quiltingdiva257]

Thanks!  I think that I might give it a try, at worst if it doesn't work in my Kindle, than I can always use it in something else.

16Gb C4 doesn't work in her kindle

Look again


It was also posted that the Transcend 16GB card works.  It's a class 6




Drat it went up almost $10.00!

The good news is buyno will refund my card! Once I ship it back to them. 

Bad news is the Transcend cards are out of stock until the 13th.

I have to admit that I didn't look at the class before buying, I was just trying to match the one I have in my camera, and that one looked right!  I suppose I'm just lucky that I chose well in spite of my ignorance.

Vampy, the one I got is out of stock at Amazon but is still only $29.99...

The other one, which is the same as yours but packaged differentlly will be in stock on the 13'th, I think.  When ever they are stocked, I'll get one.

[MonaSW]

How do you know what class the card is? I have a SanDisk Ultra II 1GB card.

[Vampyre]

Look at the card above my last post.  under the SDHC part, it says class 6.

The bigger the class number, the faster the card transfers dara.  That's my understanding of it.

Cards under 4GB are not HC(high capacity) they may not have class numbers. I'm not sure. I am still learning this to.

[MonaSW]

Ah, mine does not have a class number. Course it is a relatively small card.

[Vampyre]

Even some of the 4GB cards don't have a class number but that is where it shows up first.

I just bought a 2 gb card and it is a class 2.

I just want to be sure this time before I order it, this card will work in your Kindle?  I know 16GB is a lot but I am like Tim the Toolman Tailor when it comes to my stuff.  I want it maxed out as much as I can afford. 

[katiekat1066]

Yep, its in the Kindle, has been since I first got her (the card shipped first).  I've currently got a couple hundred books and a few music files on it, everything is working fine.  All I had to do was slide it into the Kindle and turn it on, all the folders showed up when I plugged them into my laptop.  Like I said before, I think I was very lucky in my ignorance.

All righty then, as soon as Amazon gets them in stock, I am getting one.  They sell for up o $20.00 more at other places.  I hope they keep that price.

Just putting this out there: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211245
It's a little cheaper, also has free shipping, and a good return policy. And you don't have to wait for it to be restocked If you call and get a nice CSR they may even send a return thingy so you don't have to pay return shipping -if you end up needing to return it.

[Vampyre]

Thanks.  All of those are good points.  Amazon has the same return policy so far.  I want a Transcend card because it works in katiekat's Kindle.  Amazon will also kick back a bit to Kindle boards if we use links like the one below.


I'm in no hurry to get my new card.  I will get a store credit for the one I returned.  I'll use it to pay for my new card. 

Looks like they upped the price on this one, 






Oh joy!  I opened up my dryer this morning to get a fresh sweat shirt and what falls out.....my card reader with my camera's SD card in it.  I left in a pocket I guess.  It got all washed and dried.  When I get home from work, I will see if it still works.

[Betsy the Quilter]

Vampyre, let us know if it works.  There've been tests run and the cards are quite sturdy, so I'm hoping even if the the card reader doesn't work, the card will be ok.

[Vampyre]

I put it in my camera but the battery was low.  It did show the right number in the display for pictures left to take.  You can get a lot of pictures on a 1 GB card!

I'll check it tonight and let you know.  I guess this should come with a "Don't Try This at Home" warning.

[Glynnis]

I got my Sandisk 4GB Secure Digital SD HC Memory Card & BlueProton USB 2.0 Card Reader Writer on Saturday and it works fine in my Kindle.


I also converted a couple of audio CDs to MP3s and loaded those on the card. I'm enjoying listening to some great Windham Hill piano and guitar music while I'm reading :-)

I have over 400 books stored on my Kindle using a Sandisk 1 GB card.  I just checked my settings and on my Kindle I still have 169 MB available.  On my card 403 MB available.  I've had the card awhile and bought it with the rebate at Circuit City.  I don't remember what I paid for it.

It looks like my SD card is good.  The reader is shot but they are pretty cheap. I am happy I didn't lose all my pictures.  I have mos of them on my computer and at photo bucket but i like them on the card to.

I clicked on one of the Transcend links we have in this thread.  It looks like there's one for $25.00 so I grabbed it.  I better check shipping costs real; quick to see if I got a deal or not.

I just got another SD card. It was a hand-me-down from a family member. (I love being one of the younger members of the family in town) My older techno-loving family members have tendencies for upgrading their device every so often, especially the memory of their devices. So since they had no more use for their old sd cards I have another two 2 gb for my kindle. So I have a back up and a back for the back up. (or until mom realizes it and demands my old micro sd that occupies my kindle right now)

[Vampyre]

Being the oldest, I need some 'hand-me-ups".

[Vegas_Asian]

Being the oldest, you can probably just give the kids "the look". My mom does that. She will give me the look that says "you dont need that many sd cards" then I will have to share.

[Vampyre]

No not really.  I live alone and they all have their families.

[Vampyre]

OK everyone!  Get out you happy dance shoes!  My Transcend 16GB SD card arrived today and it works!

I Just transferred 2 pages of titles(about 25 I think) from the Kindle Memory to the SD card and it went pretty fast. 

I am a happy camper.  If you want large SD card that will work with your Kindle, then the Transcend is the way to go.  Be sure to look closely and make sure it's a Class 6 card when using anything over 4GB.  I think this helps a lot but I could be wrong.

Yipee!  For once I helped someone!
