As for the memory card, they could easily have a microSD slot on the edge. I think they'd be foolish not to include expandable memory. I'm hoping there's a USB port there, too.
I would love to see them add international support. I just hope they can get the rights situation squared away soon. Digital rights are regional just like print rights (silly, I know) so just because a book is available on Amazon's US site it doesn't mean they can sell it elsewhere. I know plenty of people overseas currently buy books that violate these rules. It's still small in the scheme of things. Amazon's big enough to get pounded for something like that so they couldn't just allow open access to the US collection. One thing that makes me hopeful they've been working on it is the fact that we're seeing other stores getting leaned on to enforce these restrictions. Maybe the rights holders are getting antsy about people buying their titles from US sources when they're about to have an opportunity to really profit from them. I would be pleasantly surprised if this is Monday's announcement just because it's such a huge undertaking but I think this is where Amazon wants to go.
