I'm not one to pick an argument, but since the manufacturers may (if they are wise) read these pages occasionally, I must strongly disagree.
If this were the case, I wouldn't be considering spending $250 USD to upgrade from the Libra H20 (i.e first gen) with its 6.72 GB available space, which I soon found inadequate (and even 'ungenerous' considering how cheap storage is now).
Some of us:
a) have alot of books and/or large books (eg. pdfs running even to 250 MB)
b) like to dip in and out of books
c) like to read a few different books at once
I really want to have ALL the main books I'm interested in:
a) reading
b) checking out
in one space
And for that I need at least 21GB, based on what I currently have on my Boox Air.
On the other hand, I also know people who only EVER read one book at once and would be happy with 1 GB! Then again, there are people who ONLY like paper books.
It's a very human thing to expect everyone to be like ourselves, but there's a wide variety in the way people do and enjoy things.
