But clearly storage and the SD-card slot was something that many users wanted, otherwise Amazon wouldn't have included it.

It isn't a coincidence that changing to 8 GB standard with a 32 GB option coincided with a unit capable of playing audiobooks with how much larger those files can be. It is being offered for people who listen to lots of audiobooks, not because they are responding to customers wanting more storage for plain ebooks.
