MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Nexus 7: Is lack of SD card port a deal breaker for you?

Why an SD card slot is mandatory for me:
I keep all of my media on SD cards, including ebooks, movies, music, and pictures. If I want to use my ebook reader I simply insert the card and there are all of my books. If I want to use my tablet I simply insert the card and there are all my files. It is illogical to think that anyone would use “the cloud” as a substitute for local storage considering the 32GB capacity (or more, now up to 128GB). Not to mention that data plans are now pay-per-GB which makes the cloud a no-go for any reason.

I have an SD card slot in: both of my ebook readers, my car stereo, my TV, my tablet, my laptop, my PC, my smartphone, my MP3 player, and my netbook. The versatility offered by this is unmatched.

It is good to know that many people here see why card slots are being left off of new devices, it is a money scam. It is an attempt to force you to eventually move money from your bank account to their bank account. PLEASE don’t fall for this!

No card slot no sale…
