That is an inconvience.
People who have Sonys, Kobos, and Kindles do not share that inconvenience. They can side load all the books that they want and use the memory on their devices how they see fit.

why not discuss format, you guys have brought up just how what an inconvience it is to pop an sd card into a slot is. So yes let's talk about how inconvienant it is if you have a ton of ePub books and you have to strip the drm and convert it to mobi and then sideload it. Or if you want to buy a book from a major publisher outside of Amazon that you again are forced to strip DRM and then convert. That's not silly/stuupid/dumb?
but of course since that is amazon then of course it's not an inconivence but since it's the nook poping in an SD card is like being stranded in the middle of the ocean. Whatever the double standards are amazing on here. Something tells me if the Kindle had the same setup you would be singing the exact same song I am. Because I mean having to strip and convert is not a big deal is so I can remotely see how poping an SD card into a slot could be, right?
Also is this not your quote in red from the previous page of this thread?

OK then I fail to see what the big deal is.
So what changed your mind? The fact that it's a Nook or that it's a debate I'm involved in?
