Yes. Here is how you do it. Open Windows Explorer. Go to the folder
you
want to transfer. Press the applications key, the key to the left of
the
control key on the right side of your keyboard. Arrow up or down to:
"send to", and press enter. You should hear, "Send to Bookport." Press
enter. If you don't immediately hear that, arrow up or down until you
do.

You could also make a book Port folder on the PC and make a sub folder
in
that called
CF card 1, CF card 2, etc. This way, you could just resend everything
that was on that
flash card back to that flash card.
HTH,

Sounds like what she went through was some really intense electronic
scrutiny if other people's CF
cards were equally wiped of data. I would suggest that perhaps people
might want to make an extra
copy of the material in the bookport onto another CF card, so that if
the card on the
unit were erased, one would at least have the data to read once one
reaches one's destination.
Doesn't solve the problem of what to read while on the plane, but at
least one would have the
books.

Actually, it wasn't a can of worms. People need to know about the

that wouldn't be my idea of fun! It would be much worse with the other

My apologies for opening this can of worms. I merely wanted to
agree that the manual is a good read, but you know you are desperate
for something to read if you read it several times in one week.
I don't think anyone really needs to be concerned about taking the
Book Port through airport security. I have done so many times
without incident.
This was not the usual security check. As I said, everyone on the
flight who had a device with a flash card, ended up with an empty
one. I don't think there was anything any of us could have done to
avoid this.
So, just take your Book Port through security as usual. If you get
subjected to a super security check and lose your files, read the
manual
again.

That is why owning a case for the Bookport is a good idea. With
the flap closed, accidentally formatting the card is less likely,
especially if it is locked.

Hi:
I don't have any experience with this, but my thought, too, is
that since the command for reformatting the card is the 4 corner
keys, they could have thrown it down in such a way as to have
activated that command. If it bounced, then it reformatted the
card. It's a stretch, but it would explain why it happened.

Just a thought...
I've been reading the posts about the loss of book files from a CF
card after going through the X-ray machine in an airport. Sounds
like an event that is not terribly likely to happen again. I've
been on many hundreds of flights with my BookPort and always leave
it in my briefcase which goes through the X-ray machine. I've
never had a problem. I wonder if the problem might have been
cause by something else is that the file structure on the card,
albiet without book files, appeared OK, that is, it didn't seem
to need reformatting. Wouldn't the card tell you that it needed
formatting rather than there were no files -- I don't know the
answer to that one. And, it did sound as though the Help file was
intact.
My gut says that repeatedly removing a CF card is potentially
harder on the BookPort, card slot, and the CF card. If left in a
purse, it'll go through X-rays anyway, and in a wallet, it can
take a bit more of a beating if sat upon.
