Pulling out the card is very inconvenient and I'm always afraid I'll break it if I pull hard...

That would be me...

Before impserve, I would have to launch GEBLibrarian (it was a slow starter, to boot), navigate to the directory I had just placed my .imp ebook, then do the transfer thing...

For the REB1200, it was easier to take out the CF card, put it my CF-SM Sandisk reader (I thought ahead when I bought this ), then just place the .imp in the root directory of the drive assigned to the CF reader. Quick and safe!

For the EBW1150, I would rarely pop out the SM card (for fear of breaking it or my reader!), so I usually would wait for the GEBLibrarian to start, navigate down and load it that way. Fear made me do it this way more often than not!

Again, a thing of the past, now that we have impserve!
