Hi, Recently, I downloaded the daisy version of Lincoln by Gore Vidal from BookShare. What I found was that at most page breaks, text was repeated. Sometimes only a few words were repeated but sometimes a paragraph or more was repeated. My first assumption was that there may have been a scanning problem, but when I saw the book was rated to be in excellent quality, I did further investigation. I found that the "BRF" version of the same book read fine on the BookSense, that the daisy version worked fine on another daisy player, and finally, I could not see any repeated text when I spot checked a few pages when looking in the XML file. Is this a known problem, and if not, how can I report it?
Second, I have had trouble from time to time when unplugging the AC adapter and then unplugging headphones with the BookSense not turning on when I tried to power up later. I have resorted to doing a reset when this happens. I discovered quite by accident today that if I plug the headphones back in, the BookSense suddenly turns on. It is as though it could not switch to the speaker when turned off and had to wait for the headphones to be present before it could continue. If one runs into this and doesn't want to reset, trying to get things going by plugging in the headphones again is worth a try. I suspect that unplugging the AC adapter and then the headphones causes the AC Adapter Disconnected message to not being completed but I don't know for sure.
