I pause the booksense, let it power itself off while listening to nls books
and to date, I haven't lost my place in the books.

Steve, I think it may have something to do with whether you pause the book
or just cancel out of it. I have never lost my place while cancelling out
of a book, but I've heard of people losing their place if a book is paused
and the unit shuts off. Just my thoughts for what it is worth.

You are very lucky. For me, the 1.1 upgrade did improve the problems
with loosing my place in NLS books, but I am still running into it often.
It seems particularly
common if switching to other files and back, when turning BlueTooth on
and off, and when switching to the SD card and back. However, I still
have occasional
loss of place that I have not been able to tie to an event.
I don't say all this just to complain because I know this is being
addressed. However, if some people like you are not having these kinds
of problems, there might be
a variable outside of the software itself, and it would be nice to know
what it is. Some of how this problem is exhibited may depend upon
patterns of use. For
example, I have never yet lost my place if I power off while still
playing the book. I would tend to think of this as risk behavior but it
seems to be the opposite. Along
the same lines, when the BookSense goes off while playing as a result of
the sleep timer expiring, I have never lost my place in a book. If you
tend to do the same,
you might not be as likely to experience the problem. Tell us your
secret. <smile>
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

That's good it is keeping its place in text files. It is not doing that
on
mine in NLS Talkingbooks.
