yeah I see someone posted in the thread about a 32gb CF working! I might give that a try - I saw the same make as was mentioned on ebay for around £70 which is great.

I am quite sure I dont have 32gb of books of course but still - would be nice to have :-)

Heading off-topic ... I started thinking that if I had 32Gb of books I'd probably not have enough years left to actually read it all. And then I started thinking about how collections of e-books might get passed on down the generations. OK, technology will change, but it is now going to be so easy for ordinary people to leave an entire collection of books to their kids or grandchildren and have the collection grow. I must be getting old if I'm thinking in this way

CF and SD card at the same time?
I assume having both a CF card and a CD card in at teh same time should work fine? Not tried yet...

Yes; they're seen as separate storage devices.

Note that you need an MMC card rather than an SD. SD cards up to 1GB will probably work, though. Sticking with CF cards is safer.

yep working well. I got a 32gb Adata CF card that is working great. I put loads of PDFs onto it as well as comics... and I managed to fill about 6% of it :-)

What are people's experiences with 8Gb, 16Gb, etc... Are they all universally supported, or is there a specific brand which works best...?

Unlike "SD" cards, where you have physically different hardware with MMC, SD, SDHC, etc, CF is a common standard at any size - any device should support any size card.

Perhaps because it is a MMC plus card and not a MMC card...

Try formatting to FAT32 with a card reader, though... might work then.

I just bought an AData 32GB Speedy CF card. But my iLiad says there is only 2898MB free space before I put anything in the card. The card is FAT32 format. iLiad software version: 2.12. Kernel version: 2.4.19-rmk7-pxa2-irexl#21100.

Any idea about this?

By the way, I am totally new to this forum. This is my first post here.

it's a 'feature' of the iLiad. It won't report the actual free space of cards over 4Gb, but you can still use the card If you want to be sure it works put more files on the card than the reported free space and check that you can access everything.

Hm. I wonder if that was why my 4Gb CF card got corrupted when I tried to access it through the iLiad export, rather than in a card reader? It happened twice. I use a separate card reader now, and have had no problems since.

details of card (brand, model, size, partition type) and iLiad firmware version would be handy.

Make sure you read all the notes here and meet the requirements.

Traxdata CompactFlash, 4GB FlashSeries PRO (233x ???) seems to work fine on iLiad book edition (I think it has 2.12.1 firmware). I didn't use it that much, though.
