That's a little inaccurate. Both the memory where books are stored and the memory where the firmware is stored are "flash" memory. The only difference between them is that the firmware is stored (mostly at least) on an internal partition which isn't directly visible to the user. Both the "visible" and "invisible" partitions are the same "type" of memory.
