Good day, pcbogert,
I will answer your questions to the best of my knowledge (which isn't anything grande, but.... :P )
1) MP3 quality is relative to the bitrate within MP3 file itself. The Axim is capable of playing MP3 equivilant to any MP3 player. The better the quality of the MP3, the more memory it will take up. It's a trade off that you will have to decide on depending on your musical pallette. I would think that most people can't really tell one from the other though.
2) I do not have a memory card at this time, but it is my understanding that you can put whatever you want on a memory card, and it wouldn't make any difference to the other files on the card. In other words, you can mix and match....
3) Cards can be swapped at your convenience. Don't forget, with the Axim you can use a CF card and a SD card simultaniously. Advantage, Axim.
4) Word/Excel documents seem to work seemlessly for me. Granted, I haven't been working with any 100 sheet spreadsheets performing calculations to determine the position of Jupiter relative to what is on CBS in July of 2021, but I don't think there would be any problems with this.
5) I have read posts here where some people feel transferring files to the Axim through the USB cradle is fast enough, while others insist on having readers. I think it comes down to personal preference and patience level. By all means though, transferring mp3 via the USB cradle is NOT painstakingly slow.
Good luck in your decision!
