Unless you have a lot of scanned PDFs or graphic novels the 6.7 G Byte for books out of 8GB could be about 6,000 books. That's nearly 17 years of reading at one book a day.
I've about 1,800 inc some old PDF scanned books and less than 1/2 free space used on the Libra. I actually took a 32 G SD card out of the Nook Touch and put it into a 10" tablet for PDFs and put a 4 G SD card in the Nook, which is still much less less than free on the Libra.
I'd be more concerned about a phone without SD card slot due to videos, HD photos and bloated applications. Yet the iPhone is much more expensive than my Alcatel, which has 16G internal and an SD card slot AND lets me I/O any kind of content just as USB storage.
It's a long time since a Kindle had an SD slot.
Only the Sony Electronic Paper (which can't do ebooks, only PDFs) has a walled garden like iPhone and iPad.
Certainly and SD slot is a must for me on tablet or phone, but not on ereaders with 6G + free.

if it has an external SD card slot with up to 32GB of storage i buy the ereader, if it doesn't i don't.
of course other opinions are available.
