Sally - The biggest thing to be sure of when selecting a CompactFlash card is whether or not is has a lifetime replacement warranty. CF cards are known to fail and it's nice when the manufacturer will send you a replacement for free. Most of the so-called generic or no-name cards do not have such coverage, but cards from Sandisk, Kingston, and (I think) Lexar offer such a warranty. Avoid the so-called "ultra" cards, which may have some other descriptive terminology attached unless the price is lower than for a comparably-sized card from the same manufacturer, since such cards are intended for use in cameras, primarily, and you won't benefit from their often overhyped transfer speed. Right now, a good 1Gb card can be had for around $20 or so, not including shipping (and many online vendors ship for free) and an equally good 2Gb card for around $38 or so. I personally wouldn't recommend a card any larger than 2Gb _unless_ you expect to have a huge number of larger files (books from Audible, MP3 files, etc.). I strongly recommend checking prices at: http://www.dealram.com/ since they constantly monitor prices from a number of online sources and always have the best prices currently available on all card sizes. They don't sell products, but they do provide quick and easy-to-use links to the vendors whose prices they monitor. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sally Rosenthal" <sanford.rosenthal@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, November 06, 2006 7:54 AM Subject: [bookport] What kind of card? Hello, I just got my bookport on Friday and am very, very new at this, so please bear with me and answer a question that probably pops up here frequently. I want to get a flash card that holds more than the card that comes with bookport. Can anyone suggest what brand and/or type would be best? Thanks, Sally
