bleh
She's never used it. On the 3 Kindles that I have had (K1, K2, DX-returned) I have neither run out of disk space, nor run out of battery while using it. In fact, looking at my ebook library of about 500 books, most are from .8 to 1.2 MB. Why do people list either (battery/SD card) as selling points?

Well, because eventually that battery
will die. Most likely, not within the warranty period.
When it does, the K1 battery will cost me $19.99 to replace.
Your k2 battery will cost you $59.95 plus shipping to replace. And you have to send it in......for an undetermined period of time.
The SD card is a bugger, because they gave it to us with the K1, and not with the K2. I have over 900 books now.....your may be small, mine aren't. Plus others want to store manga and music, which takes way more room than books.
It boils down to the fact that Amazon decided how much room we needed, and how to change the battery.
