I wouldn't count on this feature being implemented for various reasons.
This has come up before. In short, some files are encrypted, and this
scheme would not work with a card reader.

Hello,
I am a new member to this list. I have for some time now been trying
to
send this to Larry, though he never responded, which is, of course,
very
unprofessional of him. However, I suppose that there may be other APH
staff
on this list who may be more receptive.
I recently acquired the Book Port, and like it very much in all
respects but
the following. When I send a large audio book to the Book Port, I
find
that it is very hard on the batteries, because it means that the device
can
be connected to the computer with an active serial connexion for
sometimes
a half-hour or longer. I do have another CompactFlash reader, and so,
I
suspect, do many other people who use the Book Port. I think that it
would
be
nice if the transfer software could transfer a book to a device other
than
the Book Port. This would mean that, in stead of the files' being sent
to
the
Book Port, the user would place the CF card into a conventional memory
card
reader, and the software would treat the contents of the card as if
they
were
on the Book Port. In this way, a user would not have to waste so much
battery power. Isn't this basically what the software already does? I
am
curious
to hear your comments.
Regards,
Graham Hardy.
