I have 6 USB ports on my desktop, so I just leave my cable connected all the time. No searching required! It can be used with several devices besides the BookSense.
I have a card reader, but I don't consider any slight increase in transfer speed to be worth the inconvenience of removing the card from the BookSense, putting it in the card reader, removing it from the card reader and putting it back in the BookSense. I also wonder if the life of the card is shortened by frequent insertion and removal.

The first is that originally my SD card reader was connected to a faster USB port than the port on the USB hub I used to connect my Booksense. I've since fixed this situation, so I don't think there's as much difference in the speed of the file transfers anymore. The second reason is that sometimes it's just more convenient to slip the SD card into the front of my PC, which has a built in SD card reader than it is hunting for the Booksense cable. The Booksense cable is right here in this drawer, but so is the cable for my cell phone, NLS cartridge and so on. Finding and untangling the right cable can sometimes be a real nuisance. I'm sure I could be smarter about it though. Oh well, that's just my $0.02. -- Christopher [email protected] From: Russ Kiehne [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, June 20, 2010 9:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [GW-Booksense] GW Micro Announces New BookSense Buddy Software Using a card reader makes the transfers a lot faster then connecting the booksense to the computer. ----- Original Message ----- From: Aaron Smith Cc: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, June 19, 2010 12:34 PM Subject: Re: [GW-Booksense] GW Micro Announces New BookSense Buddy Software On 6/19/2010 10:45 AM, Rod Gowen wrote: It would make things a lot easier for those of us who do not like to hook the unit itself up to the computer, but like to just put the SD card into the built in card reader and transfer things to it. Just for my own edification, what's the reason you typically take out the SD card of one machine, and put it in another, rather than just plugging in the BookSense? I'm not judging, just asking. I have an Cowan that uses an SD card, and the thought of taking it out and putting it back in every time I wanted to transfer something seems tiresome. Just curious.
