Hi Marta:

It would be good to put the card in your Book Port and format it with the Book 
Port.  The command to do this is the 4 corner keys.

Occasionally, there have been some cards that wouldn't format in the BP, so you 
can also do it on the computer, making sure you format in Fat 32.

However, if you can do it in the BP, that is best.

Happy Reading!

Thank you Pamela.

I'll check out the four gig cards then.  I think the audio books I'm trying 
to save to one card will fit in the four gig one.  Do I have to manually 
format the card to the FAT system or do they come formatted that way?

Marta
