By using multiple cards I guess you mean swap cards in the esisting system =
rather than a new system with multiple card slots.
Not a bad suggestion actually as looking at the proces, the cost per Mb =
scales pretty linearly; ie it costs roughly the same to buy two 1 Gb cards =
as it does to buy one 2 Gb cards. Of course if I have two cards I will =
almost certainly lose one.

Hi Graham,
We considered a hard drive version of BookCourier, but it's not feasible=20=
because of power consumption restrictions. You can't run a hard drive =
using=20
AA batteries. However, we are currently working on support for 4GB =
flash=20
cards. After that, we'll turn our attention to 8GB cards. Of course =
another=20
option is to use multiple cards.
