Apparently. It's not that 1 GB of side-loaded storage wouldn't be enough for me (personally) it's just it would irritate me that most of 5.4 GBs of memory would go to waste. If they're going to do this, they might as well have left the thing at 4 GBs. (Besides, it gives JSWolf another opportunity to run down a product he has zero interest in.)

I wonder what would happen if someone bought the Nook GlowLight 3, didn't upgrade it, loaded 2 GBs of side-loaded books, then upgraded it? Would it delete their side-loaded material? I'm guessing it would.

I wonder if this decision can be reversed, or if someone could use the ADB hack you mentioned to re-repartition the memory?

Well, as it stands now, buying the Nook Glowlight 3 is back to "maybe" dropping down from "probably."

Thanks for the report.
