You only need to have fast enough reading. And those cards are fast enough for HD video playback. Certainly fast enough for a page of text. Besides, caching is used in smarter reading software. You can install any reader app you like, you are not limited to the default one. Although the default one is pretty good, especially for pdfs.
The two most important programs to me (Calibre Companion and Kiwix) use their data in the internal memory - and neither of them fit into the 23 GB.
But in the internally formatted 128 GB SD card.
And that is the case with all programs that use very large databases.
