Just bought a Sage PW (10th Gen) which is supposed to have 8GB storage but when I check under storage management it only shows 6GB? This is on first start up without any books on it - Used: 274MB Free: 5.97GB. Does the kindle take up 2GB for firmware etc? If so I'd expect it to show as 8GB with the used amount as 2GB.
