I wouldn't want to buy a device without SD card slot if I would use it for media other than plain black-and-white books. Think video, music, but also magazines or newspapers. Yes, there are books that might be large (I do have epubs that are 2Mb in size), but the majority is around 500Kb. As I mostly use my ereader for novels, with an occasional PDF book or comic book (which will a lot larger than the average novel...) 7Gb is large enough for me. With 3Gb (remember, you always lose about 1Gb for system software!), I don't feel comfortable (even though I might have only 1Gb used). And I think that goes for the majority of readers, which are not the ones that post here, but read their lives away in annonimity. Everybody I know that actually uses an ereader only have a few books on it.
And as davidfor already said, why should the majority pay for something they won't use? The update from a 4Gb internal card to a 8Gb internal card makes sense on the One, as that one is more suited for reading larger PDF books or comics. |
if Kobo didn't want it's customers to have a Micro SD card slot then they shouldn't have given it too them in the first place, after all it was available on quite a few models not just one.
the main advantage Kobo had over their main rivals as far as i'm concerned was the Micro SD card slot, now that has gone so it seems forever please explain to ME why i should ever buy a Kobo e-reader again?
best wishes koboy
