Dear David,
You mentioned books that you've scanned using Kurzweil and then converted to audio Daisy files. This might be off topic here for the listbt, but if you don't mind sharing, I would greatly appreciated it if you could write to me with instructions how to do that. That would be a big help. 
Thanks, in advance

And you need to realize that the more directory entries you have on a card, the poorer will be the Book Port's performance, too. Thus, really loading up 
an 8Gb card with, say, a hundred and more files is guaranteed to degrade
performance. Is the tradeoff worth it? Not in my book, it isn't. Get more
cards of smaller capacity.

I can think of all kinds of things to do with 8 GB of memory storage.

Audible books, books from Bookshare, books that I have scanned with
Kurzweil1000 and turned into audio Daisy books, and a few MP3s are a few
things you could do with that much storage.  You need to realize that some
audio Daisy books can take quite a bit of memory to store one book.
