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.  |
This is BS. I have 1GB worth of books on my 650 and a 8GB SDcard full of books, audiobooks and music for it. It blends them in with the collections in a couple of seconds. Maybe four or five and that's it, if at all this long. There is no need for any folder structure. It tells you if the book is on the devices storage or on the SDcard via a little icon.
As you can name the collections every name you want them to, it can be set up like you would with a folder structure, too. It is simply just a matter of being organized in Calibre.
The reason why the Nook is cheaper is it is a
Simple Touch Reader. It has simple functions but no finesse.
And the
650 has been
in stock constantly since the end of April at the SonyStoreWebsite. I'd rather you'd stop spreading false informations!!!! It is the second time today I read you making the untrue claim they are not to be found.
