As PeterT said, we are talking about the internal storage of the Kobo ereaders. This is used for the internal storage of books and the OS. Most Kobo ereaders have an internal micro SD slot with a card in it. This is only accessible by opening the device. A lot of people have opened their ereaders and replaced the card with a larger one to hold more books. Others have written different images on the card to run other OSes or to restore function after a disaster. But, the Aura and the N905 version for the Touch have fixed internal storage. That means that trying some of the other functions people have created is either impossible or risks bricking the ereader if something goes wrong.

The micro SD slot you see is for extra storage. It is what most people are referring to when they are talking about using an SD card. If you see "internal" or "image" in the discussion, then it is probably about the internal card.
