Probably not, but it really doesn't urt taking two to ten seconds to
format it. To do so, put the card in the BP, and bress 1+3+d+f (the four
corner buttons). You'll be asked to confirm. The same key combination
confirms this. Then you're done. This is covered in the manual.

INo disrespect, lack of appreciation, arguments, inflamement, offense or provocation intended, but in the case of a book I might want to use the navigation afforded me by the transfer software. In the case of the books being dealt with on the weekend, I thought I could save time by downloading them directly to the card in the reader, which I did in the correct order but the order BP was seeing them was haphazard. If a simple sorting routine could be implemented, it'd be great.

I can get the mp3's in hte proper order by not using the bookport software. Start by getting the order right on your computer, and then pasting the whole mess to the bookport.

I used my BP extensively this weekend again while I was out of the country, and loved it. The following observations are all book-related,2+b,have yet to play music MP3's on my player. First, I noticed an interesting anomaly on Friday. I was turning the speech louder, and after a certain poing it kept saying louder but got quieter and fuzzier instead, to the point where it was silent. I could turn it quieter again and the sound would return. I did a reset withthatand everything worked again as it should.
Second, I was wondering how hard it would be to implement a featurelibrary,played MP3's in alphabetical order. If I have books from the CNIBhavethe MP3's are number 01, 02, 03, etc, plus the file name. When you're dealing with a book contained on 36 or more MP3's, this inconvenience, though not insurmountable by any means, gets to be a little time-consuming. Does the hardware of the current Book Port have enough resources to accomplish this sort of sorting or would such a featureeverto wait for a future incarnation of the unit, when and if one wouldexist?
Finally, this weekend solidified my convictions about what a wonderful unit the Book Port is. Absolutely love it.
