Yes, they are a business, and whoever decided that offering a smaller form was more important than an SD slot or user replaceable batter, didn't do his homework.
I have my two originals, and am content.
What I care about is being told this is an 'improvement' and that I should be grateful some techie somewhere decides for me how much memory is needed. Bull.

Sporadic is right, though. Amazon's goal is to move more devices and they think they can do that with a sleeker device. I actually agree with Amazon on that point. The K2 stands to be more successful than the K1. I'm disappointed about the lack of SD and user replaceable battery (especially the latter) but the faster refresh and better gray-scale has already won my money. So for consumers like me, Amazon has met its goal. Also, I've only had reason thus far to use a 1GB SD card on my K1. So the K2 will actually have more internal memory than I've been using on my K1. I also suspect, as has been mentioned above, that the Kindle has issues with a large number of files and that this is why Amazon has limited the storage capacity.
