It would only format to FAT 16, so you'd only end up with half the
capacity. And, we have not tested it with 4 gigs, so we can't
comfortably support using it. Save your money and go with 2 gigs.

If you bought a 4 gb card that has fat32 instead of fat16 could this
card be 
formated in the book port and would it then work?

Thanks.
