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.

Gotta agree with SpiderMatt and Sporadic. I'm also buying a K2, despite the disappointment in loss of SD slot (I couldn't care less about replaceable battery). I would just add that I'm sure Amazon had many factors to weigh in making the decision to remove the SD slot. And it's guaranteed they considered what their customers would think. I trust they had some good reasons to remove it.
