Patrick, The volume control issue is already on the drawing board to be addressed. I suspect HIMS will be producing devices specific to other languages down the road.
Are you running version 1.0 or 1.1 of the firmware. The powering off problem is not usual. Raul stated recently that they can't duplicate the issue and there have been very few reports of this behavior. If it continues, or if it is specific to one book, perhaps you could give GW Micro a call or contact support directly. I know they want to sort out why this is happening to a few devices. One other thing you might try is a factory reset. Hold down the number 4 key, press the reset button and keep holding the 4 key for until you hear the boot up sound.

Forgive me if they've already been made. I'm interested in public comment. 1. Multilingual capabilities-- As one user suggested Neospeech does not have many options. 2. The volume in the Voice options of global options should adjust the speech volume not the system volume. I mean it's in the voices submenu. You can adjust the system volume by using the volume up and volume down keys. 3. I'd love to see a hotkey for switching the storage card from flash disk to SD card. What about pressing and holding the key that switches programs? 4. My unit powers off while reading it shouldn't do that unless I have activated the sleep timer. I've disabled power management, it should only shut off the unit if it's not reading and there is no activity. What sold me on this device is the ability to play protected WMA content, eventually, that opens up a whole world of possibilities that will never be possible on the Stream in it's current hardware configuration due to a missing clock. I used the Stream for a long time and see that the BookSense has allot of really great potential. I realize that the issues this device is having is an issue that any 1.0 device will have. The VR Stream had issues just like these when it was a 1.0 release.
