I'll probably go ahead and keep it, though. I love mine and this one would be for my sister who doesn't have any kind of e-reader, but loves reading more than eating or sleeping. I can get a lot of books transferred even onto the puny internal storage...the external card will be filled up with audiobooks and ... more books.

She'll love it.
Dian, your computer will not see the hidden 5 GB on the new Nook. It is there however. That is used by the Nook for all of the books you get from B&N, plus the space for the OS. The 1 GB you see is for your sideloaded content. There is the same amount of space on the new and old Nook. It is just that B&N decided it would hold the 5 GB in reserve. With your 32 GB card, you won't have to worry about space anyway.
