Wrong. At least for myself.
An iPod can be purchased with a differing amount of ram. 1GB, 4, 8, 30, 60GB, etc.. Not just iPod, but most players. The smallest amount of memory I recall seeing lately was 512MB. I, myself, have an 8GB Creative Zen.
However, of all of the ebook reader devices, they
mostall have a similar amount of internal storage. I do not recall seeing any with more than 1GB of internal memory. And this one, if memory serves, also played MP3 for audio books or songs.
Because of this, the ability to play music, audio books, as well as read, an SD card slot is essential. I fall into this category.
Others may not, and that is fine.
