Guess I'm not the only one to use that pocket for a reset tool. Only
use I've found for it.

Curtis,
I've also experienced all of these issues with commercial mp3 audio books,
as well as often losing my place, not being able to set a bookmark, and it
frequently playing the tracks out of order.
it locks up so often I keep a toothpick in the zippered pocket of the
executive products case, the only use I've found for that pocket so far,
since it's really small, and I just don't need to carry an extra SD card.

Subject: Re: [GW-Booksense] lockup
While reading an NLS book, I've had lockups, where reset was also necessary.
Also, while reading, and I wish to stop, holding down the power button,
(play, pause), and the unit turns off while reading, it continues. I know it
is still reading because when I press the time and date button I hear it
reading while it is announcing the time and date. That, wastes battery? :)
Not all the time, but sometimes. when I press that play / pause key and
holding it down, the power off signal while still reading occurs. I know,
"don't hold down the power button while reading," but it shouldn't do that.
:) Another "bug" is the unit still, not often but more than it should,
begins to say such things as "end of side one," (and others), and then skips
over syllables of the next word, garbling it. When I press "pause," of
course it screams about 4 times louder than it should, "pause." Volume
jockey I must play to keep my hearing intact. :) There are occasions when,
certain NLS materials will not go beyond areas in the book which the Book
Sense says exist. Check out, please, DB-Douglas, Carole Nelson-Cat in a Neon
Nightmare- A Midnight Louie Mystery-DB58460.
NMy books sense, in the "flash disc" area, when I attempt to go beyond "from
the book jacket" area the unit skips back to "nls annotation," or even when
I get beyond the areas of the descriptions and chapter 1, when chapter 2 is
suppose to start, it goes back to the annotation parts of the book,
generally landing on "nls annotation."

I had a similar experience. I took the battery out and put it back in
twenty seconds later.
Just like a cell phone lockup.

I had a strange problem last night, was reading an nls book last night
and the booksense just stopped, nothing would work, no clock,
nothing!! It wouldn't turn off or back on. I had to do a reset to get
it back. Battery was at 5, so sure that wasn't the problem.

Well said! The BookSense works well enough as it is. Why compound
problems by releasing the new firmware too soon?

I personally would vote to not have things rushed. We may

Many thanks.

Ron,
This continues to be a major unaddressed bug in the

reading Bookshare, TNAUK and many other text files. To my

the ignore and don't ignore page breaks setting and also
tried varying "line lengths." I know some here have found a
partial solution to this problem, but I can't remember what
that was. As I say, I had not really had much difficulty
with this on other documents. Is it related to how the
document was formatted originally? Is this more likely to
happen with .txt files than say RTF files?

Turn right, then go straight!
Jeremiah 29:11-14 (Amplified Bible)
11For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the
Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to
give you hope in your final outcome.
12Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me,
and I will hear and heed you.
13Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital
necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your
heart.(A)
14I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you
from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the
places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring
you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away
captive.
