Yeah--and then, shoot yourself after you lose it or it goes south. I would
never purchase a CF card larger than 1 gig and then, only if I had a very
specific need for something larger. Replacement cost should always be a
consideration when purchasing a CF card and it should be borne in mind that
sooner or later, it _will_ go bad and once it does, there's no available fix
unless you've got a lifetime warranty.

4gb cards are cool, but if you have lots of money to play with you can get a
12gb card for around $1000

I've mentioned before on this list that I purchased a Book Courier a few
months before learning about and obtaining a Book Port. Well, today my Book
Courier got software and firmware updates, and the firmware upgrade included
the same changeover to a FAT 32 system that is incorporated in the Book Port
beta. Four gig Type I CF cards are now fully supported. The software
update includes a "view online files" window which takes you to Springer
Design's web site to two Bible translations which are fully formatted for
book, chapter, and verse navigation. Direct online transfer is required.
This can only be accessed through the transfer software, but a card reader
will let you transfer the files to your computer and subsequently to Book
Port. Both units navigate these text-based Bible files equally well, so you
can choose whichever machine suits your particular purpose. I know a few of
you own both units as I do, so I wanted to mention this development. I find
it interesting that both devices are making parallel changes, though this
doesn't really surprise me.
