jmaejr, the Nook isn't the only device with some misunderstanding with respect to memory capacity.
If you own a computer with a hard drive it for sure states the capacity of the hard drive but there is no way YOU the user can access the entire HDD capacity. Some is taken up with internal OS components, some with the makers' fluff, etc. Personally, I don't find it an issue weather the space is available directly to me or only through B&N. I find the use of the micro SD card provides all the space I'll ever need. Of course, YMMV. |

It might be a non issue with SD cards being cheap, but the point is you are not getting access what is advertised.
Think of buying a car that is advertised with 4 tires, but you can only use three of them, the fourth one is in the trunk and can only be used if one of the other three goes flat. |
