Gary,
Thanks, I could not have said it better. The TTS volume issue is
a major annoyance for me and I also have been wanting to access the
large volume of material from the public library that uses DRM WMA.
Also, after a year the Bluetoot feature of the XT does not work
properly. I must atleast daily reset the Bookscence. Plus Bluetoot
controls from the Bluetoot headset should be enabled. I do wonder
if GW Micro and HIMS are listening. I will not recommend the
Bookscence to anyone at this point. If the fix these issues I might
consider reavaluating that.
A additional volume issue which a posted here and heard nothing about
has to do with using the Booksscence to drive a car or home
stereo. The max output from the eqrfphone jack is insofficient to
properly drive a line in on devices without haveing to crank up the
volue on the receiving device. This causes a problem if you
accidentlay switche the home or car stereo to another source. Youe
will get a blast of sound since you will have had the volue cranked
up to compensate for the Bookscence low output level.
Is GW Micro still monitoring this reflector/

I wonder just how much programming time HIMS dedicates to the
BookSense compared to their far more expensive notetakers. Will we
ever see any of the features we've requested from the first, such as
setting independent volume levels for the menu voice and playback
and the capability of listening to Overdrive books and other
DRM-protected files?

A period would not be necessary. It would be easy enough to ignore
the decimal similar to telephone banking or using an ABM.

I've given this a little more thought, which I should have done
before I sent the last message. Since there is no "period" or
"point" key, perhaps that could be omitted. In other words, if you
wanted 93.4, you could just put in 934. Alternatively, they could
use the "number" key for the "point" key in that particular operation.
