I don't use my CF card for wireless PC to iLiad transfers as I found it was very slow (this is a known problem with CF cards and iLiads). Via USB connection to my PC, it works perfectly.
I didn't need to format the card - it worked straight after being in a camera - I just deleted the photos.
I hope you're able to solve the problem - CF cards are a very convenient, easy way to store a lot of books.

Crisby, thanks for this response.
I'm afraid I have now returned this Sandisk CF card because it is just totally dead now. I can't get the Iliad to do anything with it. Perhaps I just got a dud?
It's strange that you report no problems with USB transfer as it seems that the general consensus on here is that CF cards have problems coping with this. How exactly do you transfer data - do you paste and copy? Do you replace files or just add new ones? Do you transfer a lot of data at a time?
I really want to use a CF card as I download so many documents and ebooks that I could really do with the space. Right now I have found an SD card that seems to do the job so this will do temporarily. I might have to try another CF card at some point but I feel a bit put off after my problems this time around.
Perhaps trying a smaller CF card, e.g. 2GB, might be worth a try for a start?
