Actually you said almost exactly that, you just substituted 'benefit' for 'value'.

I don't see that microSD offers any benefit there.

Since there is no technical difference between SD and microSD, then I assume that you are in favor of tablets having either microSD or SD? The only difference is the size, and the microSD size has lots of advantages, since it can also be used in a standard SD slot.

I guess that would depend upon whether you were discussing something like a Samsung tablet or one of the many no name tablets around. Even with identical MTBF statistics having two copies of important data on hand is valuable. You keep substituting 'reader' for the 'tablet' that is the subject of this thread. In my case, I do not back up book files on any portable device because books are small and easily replaceable. But this thread is about a tablet, so the files are likely to be MUCH larger and more difficult to replace. So the lack of an SD slot makes the Nexus 7 useless for many of us.
