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.
So why is it that no other Reader that uses also uses RMSDK doesn't need to be partitioned? It's not about stability. It's about not having enough space for eBooks from someplace other than B&N so when that's filled, your only choice is to buy from B&N.
