I know that the PocketBook 360 Plus New does have an internal SD card, that can be taken out and read using card reader and a Linux computer. It has several weird partitions, plus device itself runs a few things in ramdisk where it decompresses/decrypts some things during runtime.
There are other devices (Kobo or Nook) that have internal SD card - I have read discussion just yesterday.

I have opened my PocketBook 623 and I can't see any SD card like PB360+ had. I can't see any obvious way to connect to the internal memory.
