Most likely technology has moved on too fast, and newer contracts haven't yet been made between the companies.
The flash memory today has more storage,is faster, is smaller in size, and uses less power than previous generations (because it's made on a smaller process),plus, it costs almost the same.
Then why everbody agrees that the battery life is a lot longer when you read books from internal memory vs. sony memory stick/SD cards?
