That was the original plan but it failed, completely.
First you have to know where to find the SD card. It was a bit hard to tell.
Then you have to be really, really, really careful about how you cut it and what you cut it with. I used a cheap scalpel which is not a very good choice. The blade broke halfway through and I made a mess of it in general.
Also, there is really not much room below the cover. I thought there would be more air below since the back has that odd shape... but no. If you cut too deep ... it's over. If you have any doubts you should probably open it up anyway.
Actually the opening was a bit smaller (and a bit off) on my first try. I thought it should work anyway, but it's so tight you really have to cut the area above and before the port open properly so you can reliably access/switch the card. So I ended up with this giant opening... oh well.
As for plugging it, I use a bit of clear tape. Originally I wanted to use the piece I cut out but I cut out more than one in the end so that idea kind of imploded.

This is my first device with IR touchscreen. What I actually wanted to do was paint the bezel white since black is not my favourite color for an ereader. (I want the text to be black, nothing else).
I thought the IR was something that happened below the bezel, but it's actually integrated optics... scary. So no paint; I could get a decal but even that can't cover the inner part so a black border would remain, so I can just as well get used to black now...

It wasn't a priority.
