If you have a large library then keeping it on the internal card saves time scanning the external card each time it is inserted or the device powers on.

A number of firmware versions have had bugs that only affected books stored on the external card, most recently versions 3.0.x.

But there are fewer advantages in replacing the internal card with recent firmware versions, in earlier versions the main reason was that browsing books on the external card was much slower because their cover images were not saved and had to be constantly regenerated.
