I did own one of older Nooks - Nook Simple Touch.
Fortunately, it did have an SD card.
I used it to root the device ;-)
... which reminds me of one more reason why a manufacturer might want to produce a device without a card slot. - One less vector for hacking/rooting attack. And we know that Amazon is very keen on preventing unauthorized tweaking of the device.
