What Rob and Pamela have both said is that it is a good idea to format. It's not supposed to be necessary, but it's a good idea. and since it takes a maximum of maybe twenty seconds to do it with a 4GB card, it really doesn't hurt to just take the time to do the format.

It is always a good idea to format any new cards and save yourself any
trouble later.
I've taken may calls where the cards weren't formatted in the beginning
and had to recommend going back and doing so.

Earlier I asked if a newly purchased CF had to be formatted before
using and
I've yet to see an answer.

No 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,
I

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 
with
2+b,

and everything worked again as it should.

Second, I was wondering how hard it would be to implement a 
feature
that
played MP3's in alphabetical order. If I have books from the CNIB
library,
the 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 
feature
have
to wait for a future incarnation of the unit, when and if one 
would
ever

exist?

Finally, this weekend solidified my convictions about what a
wonderful 
unit the Book Port is. Absolutely love it.
