Card burners can be bought for anywhere from under $10 for one that will 
accommodate only a CF card to around $20 or so for one that will accept just 
about any kind of card (CF, SD, etc.) you care to throw at it. I've had 
excellent luck with Sandisk burners and if you're running Windows XP, they 
require no separate drivers--just plug the burner into any available USB 
socket and go. Burners are available at any computer store or online.

Yes, all bookmarks, pointers to the last open book in a folder, etc., will 
be saved by doing the transfer the way I outlined. I've done this myself 
many times.

I did mean to mention that you _could_ do this using the Book Port instead 
of a card burner, but it would take quite a bit longer because the BP is 
only USB 1.1, while burners will nearly always be USB 2.0, which is much 
faster. If using the Book Port, however, you would open it in Windows 
Explorer just as you would open any drive and use the same copy-and-paste 
process I outlined in my first message.

Hi Walt,

Thanks for your help and so promptly too!

You probably answered this already but may I just check with you again that
when the transfer to the new card is completed, all the navigational
features of the book port will still work?  I am asking this because the
transfer process is being done through Windows
Explorer rather than the book port transfer software.

Also, are CF card burners expensive and is there a particular make that I
should be looking out for?

Thanks again for your time and assistance!

Eu Jin
