Can I prepare a Weakness card, and does it count toward my four prepared cards?

The rulebook text covers this directly, and forum replies agree.

Yes. A Weakness can be prepared like any other skill card, it does nothing while prepared, and it uses up one of your four prepared slots. Preparing it takes it out of your skill deck for a while, which de-clutters the deck, and you can later push it out by preparing a better card when you are at the limit.
