what is SD card used for?

[ginger-maci]

Can someone please explain to me what the purpose of inserting a SD card in my NC is? What will it allow me to do that I can't do now? And please, explain in a low tech way, because if I have to even ask, I am obviously not the most tech savvy person in the world, LOL.

Sure .  The SD card is used to store any content that you want to add to your nook that you may not have acquired through B&N.  A lot of people store movies or videos on it or documents you might want to access later, personal photos, or even ebooks that were loaded from a source other than B&N.  Bassically, anything you want to access that you don't need wifi for.

It is another "add on" location to store books, documents, videos, music or commercial movies.  The addition of the card does not provide new capabilities just more storage.

There are also apps that will not work without an SD card.  I don't know if it is still the case but Evernote, as an example, will not work without a card.  So some of the apps store their own data directly on the SD card instead of the limited internal memory.  

I don't know if the new repartitioning update that will be available soon will change this or not.
