Maybe it makes sense if you want to put mp3s on it. But then again, did anyone seriously use kindle as a mp3 player? audio books?
They do stress you can carry a large library around with you.

Great for reference and the ability to read the book or magazine/newspaper you'd like to at any moment when waiting somewhere.

A lot of people organize their SDs by subject matter and when you take out the SD card, you remove screenfuls of book names that can be fatiguing to go through on the 'Home' listings.

Audio books can be useful and are used by friends of mine but they take a lot of storage space. So do mp3's, relative to text books. I have a 60-gig iPod (it's old) but if I can have all I need by taking one electronic piece with me when I go out, why not?
