This method (a) bypasses the transfer program, and (b) lets you use USB 2.0 instead of 1.2. Both of these factors speed up the process considerably. The downside, of course, is that navigation isn't quite as powerful if the transfer program has been bypassed.

Is this suppose to be a faster method of uploading information to the card
rather than using the USB cable that comes with the bookport?

there are several kinds of external writer/readers, some only for compact
flash, others also for more memory types. a writer/reader for cf only is
just enclosing the card, so let's say 1 centimeter (.4 in) thicker, longer
and broader than the card, the other ones are somewhat larger.

an external  writer/reader is not connected to the BP, but to your PC,
depending on its interface with a USB(2.0) or firewire(400/1394a) cable.

there are also cf cardbus (PCMCIA) adapters. then the adapter + card fully
disappears in the cardbus slot.

some newer pc's may have a built-in writer/reader.

Can I get a description of what the card reader looks like and where is
it 
plugged into the bookport?

in my previous post i wrote about card reader/wrriter interfaces usb 2.0
and 
firewire. i forgot to tell the transfer speed with the current cards is
limited by the card, and not by the interface.
the fastest cards (for consumers) i knnow have a speed of approx. 20
megabytes/second, while the USB 2.0 and firewire 400/1394a are in the
order 
of 50 megabytes/second.

One thing's for sure, the bigger your memory card, the more glad you can
be for card readers. It's so much faster dumping audiobooks on MP3 onto
CF 
cards via a card reader. And with the improved navigation for unfiltered
cards, what can I say, APH, great job.
