Hi Robin. I think most of us have encountered the same problems. The =
developers are gradually improving things and so make sure you have the =
most uo to date version of the software for both the BookCourier and =
Desktop tool.
By the way, you are just down the road from me and in fact you did my =
assessment a year or so back. It was you that suggested the original =
roadrunner to me and with the Bookcourier, this is perhaps the most useful =
piece of equipement I have.

Hello all
=20
My name is Robin from the UK and I'm newly subscribed. I have been using =
my
Book Courier avidly for a couple of months now and am presently enjoying
making my way through the numerous excellent books of PG Wodehouse!
=20
I must say, however, that my use of the Book Courier has been alloyed with =
a
large dollop of frustration as my unit seems extremely temperamental. The
three main frustrations are turning it on (sometimes I get nothing out of =
it
for literally five or ten minutes of regular pressing of the on button), =
the
fact that it quite often pauses or cuts out when reading, playing an MP3 =
or
even just browsing through the library, and lastly that the 10 second time
out is so short that you only have to briefly pause it for whatever reason
and you are then back in the indefinite period it takes to turn it back =
on.
=20
I really like it and am just seeking some feedback from others as to =
whether
this is an issue with my unit or the prevailing behaviour of the Book
Courier.
=20
BTW - I also get numerous firmware errors and occasional unreqquested
restoring of defaults. =20
=20
Does any of this sound similar to your experience or should I be shipping =
it
back to the reseller ASAP?
=20
Thanks for all your help, Robin=20
