She also mentioned maybe getting me a deal on the Glowlight Plus, but I didn't go into detail on that one. I was/am hoping that someone at B&N would listen and at least allow the same 2.5GB for sideloading that the Plus had.
Great! I had emailed B&N about the storage as well. I also suggested that they should deliberately work the Android end of the G-3 a little more, and make it easy for folks to sideload apps. That's an ability that the competition (in the US, anyway) doesn't have. I wonder how many people would care about apps on an e-reader. I'm thinking of apps like Instapaper or Pocket. No serious games or videos. We'd need better hardware for anything more demanding.
