Well sure, if you can find a device with beaucoup internal storage and are willing to pay the premium, that's a great philosophy. I generally only fly First Class for the same reason. The trick is doing it for less than $180.

It is certainly possible to make do on a smaller device so long as you have reasonable expectations. I've got a 2 year old Hisense Sero Pro 7 with 8 GB internal storage, running a version of KitKat with no Move to SD capability. I've got 2-3 large games, a couple dozen general purpose apps and a small stash of a few hundred ebooks on it, and it's fine. I did have to put a little thought into organizing media on the card, but it works just fine. (I've been told it's possible to fly Coach with a similar philosophy.)

The NGTS with Samsung's secondary storage feature and enhanced firmware that does allow Move to SD would be a great tablet for reading... If B&N supported this key differentiating feature. They crippled what potential the poor thing had, while supporting uSD storage for video. Weird design decisions.
