Last month when I bought my Kindle, I also ordered a 2GB Kingston SD card to go with the device. I figured I’d want to load the Kindle up with books so I’d never be without anything to read.
But then I remembered how tiny book files are compared to other file types. I have tons of books on the device already and haven’t even put a dent in the standard storage.
So I decided to use my SD card in my PDA. I often carry videos (full-length TV shows, etc.) on my PDA to watch when I’m waiting at the doctor’s office or whatever. Having a 2GB card would obviously be better than trying to cram a couple of shows on the 1GB that I’m used to.
However, this morning as I was trying to load up my SD card, I kept getting errors saying that there wasn’t enough memory left. I’m currently using only about 360MB and yet I can’t put another 360MB file on the card — which is supposed to be 2GB.
Clicking on “Properties”, it tells me that there’s 540-some odd MB of space left. Huh? What the hell? This is a 2GB card, it says so right on the damn thing. Those fools at Kingston better not have just slapped a 2GB sticker on a 1GB card!!! And even if they did, that doesn’t explain why I can’t get my damn file on there.
What am I supposed to do now? I bought this thing at the beginning of July, it’s opened, it’s been formatted, there’s stuff on there. Do I really want to go through the hassle of returning it or whatever? It was just $10, after all.
Ugh, not a good start to the day…
