I just had approximately the same experience, moving from 2GB to 4GB, when
I tried using my first SDHC card. My readers would not. I found a Sony
reader[1], the packaging of which specifically mentioned SDHC
compatability. Of the probably 20 various makes and models on the shelf
at my favorite electronics store (Fry's, USA), that was the only one so
designated. It works fine with the HC card.
