Looking at the 16GB SD card I have in my current Nook, I've only used 1.5GB, so I probably could make due with the Glo HD.

I guess I'm gun shy because of what B&N did with the current Nook Glowlight (4GB hard drive, but only 512MB reserved for side-loading). It looks like Kobo is moving in the same direction, unless the Glo HD is an aberration.

But as others have mentioned, many people are increasing the internal storage of the Glo, and taking extreme measures to do it (anything that involves cracking open the device, changing the guts is extreme) so there's obviously value to it.
i agree it doesn't look good, perhaps kobo should concentrate on giving people what they want rather than on cost cutting.

best wishes koboy.
