Both RAM and storage space are very important parameters for a reader, but they aren't the same thing, and shouldn't be confused. RAM is the memory within which the device runs programs. It's physically different to the "solid-state disk" within which files are stored. RAM is erased when the device is switched off or rebooted; storage space is not.
Increasing both RAM and storage can be beneficial, but for different reasons. An increase in RAM will greatly benefit such things as the display of complex PDFs (which can take a lot of memory to process). An increase in storage space (obviously) allows more books (or other files) to be stored.
