If you're only using it as a reader, fine. But assuming we can side load whatever we want, 8GB just isn't a lot of space for content (Video + Music + Apps + Photos + Books).

I buy MP3s and ebooks from amazon anyway. I don't mind that wall as much as I mind paying to put my existing media in their cloud.
