Hi, Don,The CF cards the BP uses have to be Type 1. I've seen references here to as much as 4GB. The manual cassett is pretty straightforward, plus it's on the Bp in a help file you can access from anywhere by pressing the E (or bottom middle) key. You'll also find it online, and that version will be updated when the BP software or firmware is updated I believe. You can go to aph.org and download an audio version of the manual, bbut I don't know how often it's updated. Personally, I've found the best way to use the BP is start with easy stuff and learn as I go, using the manual as a guide.

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
