Partition
You can take this with a grain of salt if you like, but there is a reason for the partition (though perhaps not why it is so small).
It has to do with engineering a way to handle a partition, keep it stable, while still keeping the device compatible with ADE & Overdrive. From what I have heard, a few solutions were tried to do something different with this device, but there were issues with instability or incompatibility, so they reverted to the same way the NSTwG and other devices worked. The GLP was indeed a different beast, which is what created all those early issues with ADE.
I am hopeful the size of the partition is increased with a software update to at least what was available on the GLP, which would theoretically still leave 4 GB for Nook content.
