Funny, I've been hearing since the winter of 2004 that compact flash
cards are a thing of the past. I know that they will someday be
replaced, but I just got one for Christmas, and I purchased one for
someone else just the other day. I think some people read something
about a technological change and assume it was retroactive as opposed to
something coming in the future.

how can sd cards be so hard to put in, plus i think flash cards will be
discontinued before sd cards plus flash cards are huge thy ewould force
the new bookport to be much larger. if you think those are hard to put
in try sim cards or micro sd cards.
