I've seen the Nook Glowlight 3, not impressed. It's bulky, I have no use or desire for the buttons, and I'm not going back to a 6" screen (certainly not on a device with the NG3's physical footprint).
Of course I realize that's my opinion. I did not play with the NG3 much since the above was enough to tell me I wouldn't want it, but it seemed like a fairly standard Nook software experience. Some oddities, some good things, and a sort of weird clinging to android all mixed together to get what you see.
But enough of my bashing the device, it's not for me, obviously it's what some people want, which is kind of the great thing about multiple devices being on the market.
Regarding the limitation of sideloading via Calibre companion-
Couldn't you replace the 'my books' directory in the 1gb user loaded partition with a sym link (alias/shortcut) to a directory on the larger partition and then use CC to send your books there.
I recall that was how a user had worked around not being able to access your bn purchased books, though they had the sym link point to a created folder on the SD card (back when Nooks offered those).
It's my understanding that the reader should then look at the sym link, resolve it as pointing to the larger partition, and look in the designated directory. Yes you'd have to then store everything you wanted in that directory but if your concern is just storage space, well this -should- get around it. Afterall it's not like you'd have to look at the file structure to read the books provided the built in reader is then capable of reading them properly.
