I am astounded by the number of card failures I hear about on this list.
I have a number of cf cards, and not one of them has ever failed.
I have one, for instance, that I purchased in 2001. It is a 64mb card
(they were quite expensive back in the day) and it still functions.
Hopefully, cards do have warranties. I wonder if the Bookport by nature
is harder on cards than, say, a PDA or a digital camera?
I doubt that this could be true, but we should all want to understand
why so many people are reporting card failure.
