Well, as the manual states, the BP uses Type I CF cards, but that's
virtually the norm today. The only product that uses the older Type II form
is a micro drive and if you're shopping for CF cards, not even the clerks at
Circuit City or RadioShack are ignorant enough of what they're selling to
sell you a micro drive in place of a CompactFlash card--I don't _think_. Try
to stick with a brand that offers a lifetime replacement warranty and if you
should buy a 4Gb card, find out if it has a switch on it that either
configures it as a single 4Gb card or as two 2Gb cards and make sure you get
it correctly set.
I can't think of anything offhand from the manual that might be confusing or
misleading, but that's quite a lengthy document and there might be
something. I still seem to keep finding little HTML errors in it from time
to time that make the reading of some of the tables a little tricky, but I
think the last time I looked, I found only one. Best solution is to just ask
here if you have any questions.

Subject: [bookport] Newby questions
Hello,
Since I will be receiving a Bookport for Christmas, I would like
to make a couple of inquiries here.
First, I would like to know the specifics of what type of flash
card I should purchase for the Bookport. I know that cards up to
4 gigs are supported, but specifically what type or types of
cards are we talking about?
Secondly, in learning to use the Bookport, are there any pitfalls
to be avoided such as misleading wording in the manual or other
potential problems?
Sincere thanks for any response.
Don Roberts
