Hello,
Sounds good, I have never been comfortable with having a 4 gig card with
material and having it go bad.
Just my opinion too, but have a bunch of one gig cards at least one of which
has crashed, but at least I did not lose everything.

Since you're new to the list, I'll repeat some advice I've given here
before. Understand that this is purely one user's opinion and that your
mileage may vary. I personally wouldn't buy a card larger than 1 gig (2 at
the very most) because of the cost unless there's a _very_ special reason
for doing so, such as having tons of MP3 music files or reading almost
exclusively books from Audible. The reason is that CF cards _can_ go bad and
the less money you've got tied up in one card, the less you may lose. A 1
gig card can hold a huge amount of material in text format (I think mine
currently has over 80 titles on it, and that includes several MP3 and
Audible titles). The fact that cards can and do go bad is also the reason to
stick with brands that offer a lifetime warranty.

Thank you very much! I'll definitely be buying the flash card with the
spare money from my next pay check. The card that comes with book port is
adequate for the moment, but I'm thinking that if I go ahead and get the
biggest card possible, II won't have to send files to the book port nearly
as often.
