I think the SD card slot is the only real advantage the K1 has overthe K2 and in reality, it's not that much. I like having a 16GB card in mine like Tim the Toolman Taylor liked having a jet engine on his lawn mower. It's not needed but it's cool!
I think the best reason to have so much memory available is audio books and mp3s. People that have a lot of these can use all the memory they can get.

I was considering buying a 16G card. When I bought my first 2G card 2 years ago before I went to France my husband was convinced that I wouldn't take that many pictures. Well....1600 pictures later.... It found my 4G card no problem. It's nice to see that I can buy a bigger card.

I can't imagine not having access to extra room via the SD card. Tyrella is almost full up and I have much more on SD. I like having all those books inside a small device that can be carried inside her cover. Somehow feels safer and closer than being out "there" somewhere...

I tried a Toshiba SDHC card from Sam's Club in my Kindle. It was no fun at all. The silly thing kept wanting to be formatted. My computer would go through the motions and then have an error.... same kind of thing with the Kindle. Since I had completely destroyed the packaging to open the silly thing, I now have a very small paperweight.
I am using a SanDisk 4gb and am delighted. Still, I would like to upgrade to more power at some point in the near future. Thinking about trying to change the screensavers to photos of my grandkids.

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.

I finally made the move. I started out with a 1 GB SD card. That was full with 37 MB for storage left in the Kindle memory. I copied all onto a 4 GB card.

The Kindle 1 will recognize a 8gb card......it will read 7.5 gb on display. My K1 had it plus both of my daughters had the 8gb card.  Brian |

Memory is cheap these days. 8GB is replacing 1 GB cards as the bare minimum.

Isn't that the truth, I am waiting on my kindle in the mail but I have an 8gb and a 4gb I have been using in my N800. I was thinking about putting the 8 into the kindle and buying 16gb, they are priced around $30 on newegg. Although the 32gb for about $75 looks pretty tempting too. |

Tarkin, I have heard others say that the larger the SD card, the harder the K1 to index. Of course I'm sure that's if it has a lot of information on it. Some folks have got around that by removing the SD card after they store their material on it. Just letting you know.

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I will just wait and see how it handles the 8gb that I do have.

I became a new K1 owner, I got it from a person off craigslist . My new toy made me quite mad, because I couldn't get anything on it  . All I had was about 15 ebooks and 10 audiobooks  . What gb size would any of you recommend, so I can actually use the dang thing. |

I have an 8GB card in mine, but I have never actually used it. |

Pidg is right. Audiobooks take up a lot of space. It's been discussed previously that an 8gb is probably the best size. Others have not had a good experience with larger capacity cards. Once you get a card transfer your audiobooks to the card. Another suggestion I would have is to put your audiobooks on a card and then remove it if you're not going to be using them all the time. You can use an additional card to keep other books on that are not audio. One of the advantages K1 has over K2 and DX.

Yes, I'm planning to buy 16GB memory too for more e-books, pictures, and videos to put in it. Since I am reading a lot of e-books now because it is summer.  |

Bigger memory allocation means bigger space where to save my mp3. As years go by, SD cards with big memory becomes cheaper. |
