<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">I ordered the 16 GB one yesterday. I own the Nook Tablet and I think the 7" screen works for me much better than the larger tablets. We have some 10" Android tablets at work and I find them difficult to use.</p>

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">The SD card issue does not bother me. I keep all of my music synced with Google Play and mostly watch TV or movies with Netflix. My phone came with a 25 GB Dropbox account for two years so for anything else I have that covered. I can also tether the thing to my phone so I am not worried about using "the cloud" for those things. I will mostly use it for reading, email, and Google Docs.</p>

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">For the hardware and the fact that it is a Nexus device I think it is a great deal.</p>
