Basically, "We're too lazy to put in basic disc/card volume management that's been a staple of OSes and computers for the last 25+ years, and think our users would be too stupid to figure out how to do anything if we did."

Well, no. That was not the reason which you see in the text. You must have missed the thing about the basic design principle.

Well Nook 7 8gb costs $187 in materials alone so I see why they did not add more memory or add sd card slot to it. If you need more memory you get the 16gb version otherwise google would have lost millions in selling this tab. At the moment they will most probably recover most of the costs of the 8gb one with the 16gb.

Also, the $25 store credit - I gladly trade that for a card slot. Yes, I realize it's 'for a limited time only' - is it easier to justify advertizing expense than manufacturing expense?
