Both Kobos and Tolinos use regular SSD cards for the OS and for storage. You can find howtos online to put e.g. a 64 GB memory card into your Clara. The method is probably the same for all Kobo/Tolino devices. In Japan you can buy a 32 GB Kobo Aura One.

I'm in Belgium, Europe, so I don't know about the American market.

What I do know is that the Tolino Shine 3 is identical to the Kobo Clara. I know this because I own a Clara and I've handled a Shine 3 in a shop that sells them. The Tolino Page 2 seems similar to the Clara but has a lower resolution, 212 ppi, than the Clara and the Shine 3 at 300 ppi. All three have 512 RAM.

Since the Clara is identical to the Shine 3, it's possible that Kobo will introduce a new entry level model identical to the Page 2.
