Audiobooks can take up a good amount of space. Take the audiobook of Command Authority. It takes up 419MB which is almost 1/2 a GB. Put on 4 audiobooks of similar size and you've run out of space if you can even put on 4. Might be only able to put on 3.
And therefore, rather than complain to the phone makers for not providing an SD slot, you figured it makes more sense to complain about the Amazon e-ink Kindle not having one?

My point still stands. Why are you trying to shoehorn the Kindle into being an MP3 player?

Also, go buy one of the dozens of specialist devices that are meant to play music and audiobooks and come with SD card slots.

Why force a specialist ebook reader to double as a music player?

And once you take audio out of the equation, even the old 2 GB was more than enough to hold a years supply of books, as I explained HERE.
