there's really no need to take off the back and mess with the internal microSD. You had to remove it for the original Open Platform firmware from last September. Not necessary for the new OP firmware. The new one works very well. Just go to Pandigital's site and use their updater.
the internal microSD has 1 GB. The new firmware will partition half of that off (this will be inaccessible to you) to put apps you install on. This should be plenty of room.
You'll want a regular SD card for your books, pics, videos, whatevers. I use a 4 MB since I use my PDN as a reader. Plenty of room for me.
If you want to add bells and whistles to the device, head over to the slatedroid forums and look up the thread with kewlguy's flashable enhancements. This will let you root device, change the SDK to 7 (so you can run apps like AdobeX and Aldiko that require Android 2.2), add market, etc.
Again, I don't store files on the internal microSD, just the external SD, but be advised that Calibre does put books on the internal card (I just move them over).
Also, if you are upgrading to the 2011 firmwares for the first time, follow the directions the updater give you. You'll probably have to flash twice as part of the process (the apps that come with the PDN don't take hold til the 2nd flash). It does tell you to flash a second time if it is necessary, but sometimes people seem to skip it.
And dixie, you may want to back up anything you have on your internal card. I think the upgrade wipes it clean.
