Currently, iOS doesn't support external storage (workarounds exist but they're limited in what they can be used for). I think it's safe to assume the mini, like it's bigger Air brother, will have 3GB RAM. Internal storage options are 64GB and 256GB (+$150). There is no external RAM. CC stores synced books to internal storage (which is a relatively fast "SSD" for a mobile device).
Yes, yes, yes, I know. I was trying to differentiate between the two types of RAM. If I hadn't someone would have said "But the iPad has 128 GB or 256 GB, it doesn't have 2 GB". The 2 GB verses 3 GB verses 4 GB is important because CC uses it to load the list of books when it syncs.
