My Glo came with 2GB onboard storage, but I have upgraded it to 8GB and have about 2.5GB free. I can upgrade to 32GB if need be, or 64GB if I use the external SD slot too. There is no way I would ever buy an ereader that was limited to 4GB or even 8GB.
An SD slot adds Things To Go Wrong, extra parts are not in the design plan.

And replacing the internal memory, while certainly a route for the dedicated, is not exactly an "easy" solution -- few people will be satisfied by that.


None of the options for providing lots of storage are good.
