That can get pretty expensive. It's one of the main reasons I'll never switch to a capacitive touch reader. And most of the gloves have just the index finger with the special conductive material. I swipe with my thumb most often. And no, I don't want to make all my fall/winter/spring gloves weird looking by sewing on conductive thread myself to save money.
This reader looks interesting enough that I'll have to take a look at it. Lack of an SD card doesn't bother me at all, I usually keep no more than 400-500 books on my readers at a time, deleting those I've read. I prefer to keep the entire library in one spot on my PC (with backups to other HDs). When I first got my Glo it was locking quite often, like every few days, with the original firmware requiring full factory resets, so I got in the habit of carrying an SD card in my wallet just in case it ever happens while I'm out for the day. But of course, since I'm prepared for that disaster, I've never had to use it yet. So that's been the only use of an SD card for my purposes. And if it has 4GB space on it, that's 2GB more than what I'm used to (and always still have plenty of room left on a 2GB reader).
It looks though like the back is shaped that weird way that the H2O is shaped and I'm not sure I'll like that. It adds thickness to the reader, and is pointless if you use a case since the cover folds back while reading and you've turned it into a flat back at that point.
