question about KOA2 storage
I just finished reading the user manual for KOA2. It states that in the 8 GB model 6 is available, but in the 32 GB only 27 GB available.

So what takes an additional 3GB of storage in the 32 GB model?

They probably proportion the available space across the seven partitions on a percentage of the total.
At the moment, the space set aside for system use is not all used, but that may change in the future (Google/Linux a.k.a: Android is much larger than Amazon/Linux; also known here by names not fit to print).

That makes a lot of sense, I have wondered about that since day 1. So it is just set aside for future updates...fair enough I suppose.
