My dollars, my choice. Fortunately, Kobo and others understand the value of actually caring about their customers.
That's why I'm saying "good riddance" to Kindle e-ink hardware.

No one is trying to tell you what to do, what we are saying is that what you are saying doesn't jibe with what you are writing as your reasons for wanting an SD card on your ereader.
If you want an ereader because you want it, then god bless you, go get a book reader with an SD card. If you want one because you carry around dozens of hundred megabyte Manga (as someone mentioned in some thread last year) that's a good reason too.
But if you want to get an SD card, because you usually read multiple different books -- different titles in the same category and different categories -- at the same time; often starting several different books before you find ones that you want to continue reading then you don't need an SD card and you are kidding yourself if you think you do. If you like to start several thousand different books before you decide, than maybe, but otherwise no.
In any case the only company that makes an eInk book reader that will work with several thousand books on it is Onyx. Kobo makes a great eReader, but it bogs down long before the internal memory is filled up with typical sized books. Again, if you think they are making a reader to support your use-case of 4 or 5 thousand books, you are incorrect.
