It's got 8mb. I used my converter to change this into a palm format, it didn't look all that well in the preview, apparently there are some images or something in it. It may have worked out better with a better PDF converter(I'm using a freebie). I have converted lots of other PDFs successfully and loaded them onto it, I love it!! I've got the Palm VIIX
