Memory being so inexpensive they could have easily loaded the Kindle II with 4 GB or more....I have a feeling they found a point where the Kindle software had issues with too much memory. Afterall they market the Kindle as multimedia, added stereo speakers to it, but in the end it is very limited as to what you can store on it, sure the 1500 book number sounds like a lot but start adding newspapers, magazine, music, audio books, etc 1.4 GB is ate up in no time.

I think you are taking it too personally. Amazon is a business. They decided that a smaller form was more important to potential customers then a SD slot or a user-replaceable battery. I'm sure that the decision to axe the SD slot was much easier to make once they decided to bump up the internal memory so much. |
