If you don't have 4G, then you do have a spare USB port on-board. You should be able to find those threads (on earlier models). At least one of them had added a hub using the 3G port.
The PW4 already supports OTG with both hardware and firmware.
geekmaster has posted threads and details of experimenting with the various remote file systems and remote file system hardwares. Again, older models, but Linux is still Linux.

Indeed, I do not have 4G or any modem so that will be my choice. My PW4 is the 8GB version.

Only the Zelda platform (KOA2, KOA3) uses an i.MX7D, Rex (KT4, PW4) went back to an i.MX6SLL .

IIRC it does use the i.MX6SL solo lite that is somehow a dual core.. Extremely confusing indeed.
@Junket I don't feel like paying that extra money for 24 more gigabytes and nothing else.. Not to mention that they run so much telemetry that I don't even feel safe using the device. The book 1984 by George Orwell being wiped remotely from people's kindles should give you a sense of what I am talking about..ohh, the irony in that
It's been decided then.. I will locate that usb port and work on creating a space for the extra hardware. Then, I'm going to source a usb sdcard reader that is small and solder friendly with a decent, reliable controller and then solder that onto the logic board and try to figure out how the mounting procedure will work.. Then I'm going to make a cron script that will check for said device by id.. Then mount it to a folder inside the documents directory. That way everything firmware/JB related can be on the internal memory including caching space. However, in the documents dir, There will be a folder called MC_Clone, whichis the mountpoint and stand for master copy clone, meaning that it's a clone of the master copy of my library sans the video courses.. So I'll be able to fit the entire thing on a 256GB sdcard and roam the world with my whole collection in hand
, rather than have to pick and choose the material I need at any given point then copy and organize. Also, the 8GB onboard could be used to cache the books in recent use as an alternative to the recently opened documents feature.. Many choices can be overwhelming at times.
Now, after that happens.. If only I could make a tutorial with pictures on how to do that so that everyone else can benefit from this and not be ripped off to buy more storage.
P. S I think if we just created the ultimate reader.. Then we should stock a battery or two for when planned obsolescence hits and these batteries become hard to find.. I'm sure 300ppi 6" screens with a power sipping processor will serve us for years to come and that stands directly against the interests of Amazon, B&N and many others.. So god knows what their plans will be to force us to buy a new device.. It is hard to make e-readers conform to the 24 months life-cycle like smartphones..
Sorry about the rant.. I was surprised at the speed and quality of the replies and couldn't help myself when I saw that I had an audience of "higher-level" people so I thought I should share my thoughts with you.
I'll update you with progress god-willing as soon as I can. Wish me luck on my dental board exam.
I love you all
