Actually, when you format with the bookport, it adds the Notes folder, the memo
folder, the text manual to the root, and some system files as well.

I was wondering about this also, as far as I know, it does the exact same
thing as formatting it in a card reader on a pc in the fat file system. They
probably advise this to avoid people formatting the card in the wrong file
system, then wondering why it doesn't work, smile.
