How much storage do you need?

Would 4 Gigs be enough? How about 8? Or 16 Gigs?

How about 32 Gigs? Would that do it for you?

MicroSD cards are getting cheaper every day, and unlike the Sony 350 (the only Sony in the Nooks price range) the Touch Nook has a MicroSD card slot.

Of course, if you can find one, and don't mind paying about a $100 more, so does the PRS-650.

Now, to manage that HUGE amount of space, you will probably want folder level navigation capabilities, but don't worry the Nook has this built in (where, sadly, the PRS-650 does not).

But the good news is . . .

You can match BOTH the expandable memory and folder navigation capabilities of the Nook, if you are simply willing to find, and buy, the much more expensive PRS-650, and then risk turning it into a much more expensive BRICK by hacking the firmware.
