And the partition is not "hidden" anymore than the same partition is "hidden" on a mobile phone or tablet running Android; when you connect the phone or tablet to your PC only the SD card and the media partition on the device (if present) are mounted, but you can see these "hidden" partitions if you use a file explorer on your device. So, they are not "hidden", they are simply not mounted when the device is connected to a PC.

Can you explain how what B&N has done is different than what Amazon has done? Because they don't have any division between purchased content and sideloaded, or apps vs. movies. Why couldn't B&N have taken the same route, then?
