Hello David I have never run my machine since it was replaced on mains as it just cannot hold charge. All this range seem to have battery issues. It suits me fine just to plug in and read.

Sent the player back a couple of years ago and, presumably, the battery was replaced. There were a lot of complaints at the time I think. More trouble this year which was resolved by replacing the mains cable. It looks like I’m going to have to send it back yet again. I use the mains and battery power quite a lot and the battery retention of charge seems to be getting shorter and shorter. Anybody else having similar problems. The player has packed up altogether today; won’t even work on the mains. Could someone remind me of the keystroke to reboot the thing. The situation is not desperate; I also have a Victor Stream and a Booksense. Regards David
