Hello Robert. I think you hit the nail on the head. Further
experimentation with V2.1.0.28 reveals that the problem persists until
Bookport reads past the first index boundaryin the new section. That is,
the reading pointer always points at the chunk of text just read, not the
text that's being read. That being the case, the firmware works fine, or
seems to. My problem was that I was jumping to the next section while the
first block of text in the new section was still being spoken.
Thanks for clarifying this issue for me.
