As someone who just purchased the Nook STR as his first dedicated e-reader over a month ago, I can say that the stink being made about the partitioning of internal space for purchased vs. side-loaded books is a total non-issue. I too was initially put off by the fact that so "little" space was reserved for side-loaded books, but put into practice it hasn't been noticeable in the least. I had a cheap 4GB MicroSD card that I put in it, and I simply put all of my side-loaded books onto the SD card. I have probably about 100 or so side-loaded books on the device so far, and having intially put them all in the main memory, they hardly made a dent in the amount of space available. This includes a few manga graphic novels as well as regular text-only EPUBs. People with much more extensive libraries than I have so far may run into issues, but really, anyone with that size of a library is better off investing in a cheap SD card anyway.
As to the one who is complaining about side-loaded books not appearing under the "Books" section of the library, I'm not sure what you're doing wrong, but all of my side-loaded books appear in there, including my .cbr and .cbz graphic novel files. Do you use Calibre for library management and syncing instead of the Nook PC software? If not, I highly recommend you do so.
