So you advice to take a model that has a lower resolution,less clear screen etc. only because of the extra storage ??
I started with a sony 550, 600,650,prs-T1, prs-T2, a normal glo, a aura HD,all had the possibility to enlarge the memory with an extra card, never used it.
I Like the Glo HD because it has the most clear screen of all of them..I think thats is the point, you use it for..reading.. !

With an average of 400 KB for a normal book,lets make it 500 KB that is about 2000 books for 1 GB, over 7000 books in the 4 GB storage... Wow.. serious.. it would be "horrible" that i could not read book 7001 without deleting one of them...(and keep that one or the rest as backup on my computer) the comfort of the screen,resolution and clearity would be number 1 for me. I changed 2 Aura-HD's for 2 Glo HD and done that with pleasure for the higher resolution and no-where in my brain was the thought..oh now I can't use that extra memory card, that I never used, any longer...
What is more important,enjoy reading as clear as possible in luxury, or the possibility to store book 7010 on it...

answer = DEFINITELY YES, too much is made of screen resolution in my opinion.

btw, it's about 3.2 GB of available storage not 4 GB, the storage of the sd card slot on my aura 6" is 32 GB, not much difference then.


regarding your second point, it must be nice having EPUBS that are only 500 KB in size, i have The Complete Works of Jules Verne on EPUB By Delphi Classics which is 95.4 MB to be precise, and that's just one EPUB file.



best wishes koboy
