They do have an in-store 'fix' that allows you to access a little more...either way it is a bit deceptive on their part as to the amount of the internal storage you can use for your own content. If you read the fine print item #6 it lays all this out for you.
Rooting does not appear to free up this internal storage either...yes a MicroSD card allows extra storage, however, that is not the point. It is advertized with 16GB storage but only 1GB is accessible for your content...
I got one for my wife and we are seriously considering taking it back and letting B&N know the exact reason for the return and that we will be buying a competitors device instead.

I would have it repartitioned at the store; the alternative partition gives you 1/2 of the space for B&N content and 1/2 for sideloaded.
There is a compromise here; some of the magazines are in the 500-1000MB range, so the B&N partition can't be too small.
