Ok so i just went back into whsmith and bought the kobo your all right the actual box is very different looking to the image one. I opened it up in front of the sales guy and asked him to show me where the expandable storage was and he panicked a little and called over his buddy, who in turn called over the manager. within minutes I had 5 employees wondering what was going on all looking confused. (tbh it was embarrassing to be getting so much attention how do famous people do it?) There is no expandable storage from the outside. I did open the case when I got home and saw the microsd card on the inside as shown by others.
As for voiding warranty there is nothing to indicate the case has ever been opened once you do open it. no seals or stickers or glue inside to indicate it has ever been opened so i wouldn't worry about that at all. use a guitar pick or spudger or something not sharp to open the case.
I would personally say expanding the storage is a trivial and easy matter anyone could do it. just take your time and follow the instructions linked by others. i would then keep the original microsd card safe and never use it for anything else. then switch it out if ever you need to deal with warranty.
PS. this ereader is amazing, i actually bought the kindle voyage (my first ereader btw and it was spur of the moment) a few days ago and when side by side the white background really is noticeably different with the kindle winning in turn it makes the blacks look blacker. however when not side by side the Kobo looks really white and the blacks look really good. anyway the voyage is on the way back to Amazon already after only two days of owning it. I'm glad they have such a great refund policy. i can't justify the huge price difference between them on something like a whiter background or a beautifully flush screen.
