I understand this reason. Myself, I like to have my whole library on my device, slowly adding to it bit by bit. My concern is that whacking in a memory card with 7G's worth of content and expecting the device to process it all at once will make any ereader stutter and choke.

Honestly? I'm surprised you went with a Nook. It appears to be a good ereader in many respects, but its organisation of non-B&N content is very poor, and it's questionable whether it would be improved by the firmware update coming out soon. If you really want to keep so much content on your device, your priority should be a device that allows for good library management beyond the standard 'view by author/title', either via a folder-based system or by collections/tags.
