I don't know why people are buying the big cards. I suspect most of them have never had a flash card go flaky or they'd be more careful about investing in them. I figure they'll always get cheaper, so even though one would be nice, no reason to hurry. I scan many of my books, and get others off of web braille. Last I heard you had to use either braille or daisy for bookshare, and they didn't seem to have much I wanted anyway. Braille wouldn't be bad, but daisy text is a solution looking for a non-existent problem and inconvenient to boot.
