Its not for me. One of the big draws to e-book readers is the ability to carry your entire library with you whereever you are. I didn't spend $359 to be limited by the number of books I can download.
I have a 4 GB card on mine, and so far have only managed to put 300plus books on it, but by golly if I want 4000 books on it I know I can have them.........all catagorized by author, last name first.

I hear ya.
And I had that ambition when I first got my e-reader. (So I lied, I actually understood why people wanted expansion slot that much.) Then I came to understand that it was a portable reader and it was not designed to handle your whole library, not in the current gen anyways. If you put too much stuff on it, it will crash the menu, make the full-text search very slow and result very noisy. So I just keep the best of the best works on my reader and leave everything else in the "cloud". Usually a google search can delivery more relevant information about my request. And that's also why I prefer Kindle to Sony reader.
I agree that it is a personal thing and it is always better to have options. The point I want to make is that: it sucks
if Kindle 2 doesn't have SD slot, but it may not be as disastrous as you think.
And, I am very certain that Kindle 2's built-in memory can hold 400 books.
