Totally agree,Imho, why does a person needs all his/her books on the device only to see "completed" in the list.
In my case I made an extra entry on calibe with "read" on it, I transfer about 50 books to my device and when I have read them I remove them,setting read on yes in calibre.
I don't want to move in my library only to see a couple of hundred books on completed.
If I want to read them again I go online and retrieve them, or just put them back.
So the possibility, or the lack of it,to put an SD card in it (the system sometimes start to be very "laggy " too when accessing the card) is never something I would use to make a choice.
Most important is battery usage and the resolution.
The old Glo had 2 GB, the new one has 4 so it's storage is doubled.
Suppose I want to put all my books on it,and the device crashed or is stolen,I lost them all,and when you Use Calibre as a backup to get your books safe,you can always use it for a "refill."
That only time in 2 months or more I need to finish and reload the next stack of 50 books on it will never take this 4 GB, it will not even come near the 2 GB.
I do understand that some people will have their entire collection on a card to use them,just because it is possible, but does it make it more easy to handle it ??
I mean it in general ?
Even with the Sony's I never felt the need to use a memory card, with 4 GB on it,the much bigger resolution and the longer battery usage is much and much more important for me then the possibility to use a memory card.
Beside that, you can access your books by dropbox,by your account on the bookstore so even when in an impossible case I read more then the 50 books on it, I have easy access to my other books.
