Buying tips

• As a final note, unlike all previous nooks, the Nook GlowLight does not support a micro SD card and out of the 4GB on-board memory, only 500MB is available for personal digital books download. The 500MB might appear small, but considering the average ebook size is about 600kB, 500MB gives 800+ copies of digital downloads. 
• Depending on how you use the nook, battery charge may not last you as long as 8weeks but much less.
