Agreed. However, it is ironic in the extreme that the only thing that that reservation hurts is a reader's willingness to buy books from B&N
. In that sense, non-B&N books are actually
favored (betcha some marketing hack came up with that asinine scheme) over B&N books since the Touch
cannot store B&N books
anywhere but in that 750MB. Conversely, there is potentially 32GB available (via SD card) for non-B&N books. Talking about shooting yourself in the foot
.

That's a good point at first glance. However, the main storage is also (essentially) flash memory. In this case, the distinction between external and internal storage is somewhat artificial. Since there is no multi-tasking as such on this thing, once you load a book from the external SD card, you're not really accessing the main storage so battery life shouldn't be affected at all (unless I'm missing something
).
