For purposes of the Book Port and, essentially, anything but cameras,
there's no reason to lay out the extra money for the super-fast cards. The
one thing to avoid, though, is the write-once cards where you can't erase
anything after you've put it on the card. These are often quite a bit
cheaper than regular cards and while I forget the term that's used to refer
to them, I'm sure that someone will come up with it. I've known more than
one person who bought one of these, thinking it was a regular CF card, only
to regret the purchase when the card filled up and they learned they
couldn't remove anything.

Subject: [bookport] which card to buy?
I've seen compact flash cards with 40 and 80 x transfer rates with the
former being less expensive. Is there an advantage in using the card with
the higher transfer rate? I'm thinking that what's important to a camera
user may not carry the same weight transferring files as we do. thanks
