Hold down the 1 + 3 + d + f keys all at the same time.  Then listen for the
prompt to repeat that command.  Then wait and listen and it will tell you
when your reformatted.

I do put things in folders.
How do I reformat the cards in the bookport?

        Oh, yes, this message means your CF card is corrupted some way.  If
you can put it in a separate  card reader on your computer and run scandisk
on it, or connect your Bookport to the computer, and check the "check disk
integrity" box in the bookport transfer utility.  If either of those two
operations doesn't fix the problem, and you can afford to lose what's on the
card, try reformatting the card in the Bookport, and letting the transfer
utility reinstall the help files.  Then you should be able to recopy your
books to the newly formatted card.
        As to the reason you got in this state in the first place, I'm not
sure, but it's possible you have too many files in the root directory of the
card.  Do you put your files in subdirectories on your Bookport?  If not, I
strongly recommend it. :) -Brian
