Yes, that's what I posted at the top. The particulars are for the new Glow '21. The situation exists (I think, I'll check later) on all Glows.

(I may have confused everybody by discussing two unrelated things in that post: 1) adding an extras SD card for storage 2) reallocating sideload space on a Glow without any additional SD card.)

I don't understand the level of indignation on this. People are all getting burnt up by the single number "5GB" without anyone actually running into a problem. The only people who will ever be affected by this are users sophisticated enough to own over 5GB of books but too naive to either quit using UMS or reallocating the spsd. In any case, storing 5GB of anything on a filesystem that hearkens back to MS-DOS is questionable in this millenium.

Edit: My Glow3 (black w/4 buttons) had a limit of 4GB.
