Yeah, I saw that in the other thread. I really don't get it. So you've got about 23 GBs of space for Nook books from the B&N. Since most people use their Nooks for ePubs, how many thousands of ePubs is that? Do people buy that many eBooks from B&N? Ever?
But, like you say, you'd (I'd) probably never use 5 GBs anyhow. It's just, "why?" Why are they doing this? It's not like they're subsidizing the reader for using it on B&N anymore. You can get a PocketBook HD3 for $10 more. It has 16 GBs of memory, ADE built-in, it's "waterproof" (resistant?), it's lighter, has page turn buttons and is much more open. It even has TTS built-in (via BlueTooth) with a choice of multiple voices for most languages, and it supports audio books -- and I can buy and open books directly on the device from those who sell DRM ePubs. Or borrow from OverDrive directly from the (slow) eInk browser.
It looks the screen on the HD3 is pretty much the same as on the GL4. (Does anyone know how many LEDs the GL4 has? The HD3 has 13, 7 white, 6 amber.
