The only reason to defragment as I understand it is to keep the
heads of your disk from having to travel back and forth to get
your material. Since there are no moving heads, I can't see where
fragmentation would make any difference on a flash card. Unless
you are experiencing slowness I'd forget about defragmenting or
formatting.

Subject: [bookport] Defragmenting the compact flash card
Hello BookPort users:
Has anyone tried to defrag the flash card on the BookPort the
same way that it is done on the local disk drive on a computer?
The only reason I haven't tried it yet is because I have only one
card just now but when I visit the U.S. to attend the ATIA
Conference in Orlando later this month I will acquire some larger
cards than the 128 MB card in the BookPort.
When I have finished with a book it is deleted and when I send
more stuff to the Book Port the files do not load contiguously.
