Rick, you might be interested in the Power Move commands which are one of
the most clever features I have seen in a device like this. If you are at
the beginning of a file and hit keys e and f together, you will move 50
percent into the file. Now, hitting e and f again to go forward or d and e
together to go backward, you will go half the distance to the end or the
beginning of the file depending upon what you hit. Each hit of the pair in
a given direction will take you half the distance to the end; it's amazing
how close you can get to a lost place by the thoughtful use of these power
move commands.

Yes it was just a normal text file so I understand why it moved like it did.
It was good enough though to get me back to the area of the file i needed.
For some strange reason after my batteries died last night the BP didn't
remember my place in the file and when I put newly charged batteries in the
unit today the file started reading from the beginning instead of where I
left off. Thanks for the help it's appriciated.
I normally read audible books or text files converted to mp3 so I didn't
know the movement commands. But lately I've been trying to listen to text
and get used to the double talk.

Hi Rick and list!
That's a tricky question. It does, but pages are more relative than accurate
unless the book is a Daisy book that includes page markers, in which case it
will be right on the money.
Go to the settings keypad and look for page number. Press 5. Book port will
say go to page. Enter the digits for the page number, followed by the nuber
key. You will be on that page.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi,
Does the book port have a page navigation system so I can jump forward a
page at a time or go to a specific page?
