I was looking for a new ereader to replace my Paperwhite. I buy my books from Independant publishers. But I needed the SD card. B&N's SD card removal ruled out the new Glowlight so I purchased a Kobo Aura.
Since then I have bought some books from Kobo.
My point here is that removal of the SD card, and having a partition, means some people (like me) will never buy the new Glow and therefore we don't even look in the book store. If we had a device with an SD card, or without partition, we 'might' have so having a very restricted ereader just limits their market to those who 'know' they'll buy from B&N.
Restricting your market is never a good move.
