I've never seen anything over 200MB.

Of course, the illusion of progress is nice on paper but all the e-reader manufacturers could just optimize their software for waaaay more effect than just slap more RAM in it and call it a day.
Do I need 4 GB of RAM now for any app? No, not now. However, I have a couple of apps that may benefit from the extra RAM. Secondly, extra RAM is one way to future-proof a device. Thirdly. if there is any reason why the Note should have 4 GB of RAM, the same reasoning would apply to the Nova!
