Hi, Larry -
I've experienced a somewhat similar condition with my BP. I'll be reading
along, not touching the keys at all, and the device will just stop cold.
Normally, pressing the 2 key will resume reading. It's not the timer
expiring and I'm sure it's not low batteries, either, since mine are over
70% and it happened last night. I don't receive any indication that the stop
is coming...no messages of any kind or anything like that.

Hi Jerry.
Does this happen everytime the unit sits idle for a while? If so, does it =
happen even immediately after the double-beep shutdown sound?

Had I been more carefully monitoring all posts to this list, I might have
seen something about a problem that I am beginning to find quite annoying.
After several hours on the shelf or in my briefcase, I'll take out the
BookPort to continue listening to a piece, only to get no response at all,
as though the batteries were completely flat. The only remedy, a farely
simple one, is to temporarily break the connection between the batteries =
and
the unit, this, of course, causing the BookPort to annoyingly revert to =
its
firmware defaults. Also, as of the latest release of the firmware has come
another problem, I'm sure discussed several times here. For no apparent
reason, the BookPort just stops reading, requiring that I press the read
button to get it going again, not a big thing but a little bothersome
nonetheless. I'm wondering whether or not the first problem that I =
mentioned
is somehow linked to the option that allows one to silence the locked key
beeps. Just a thought since I am unable to peek at the source code.
Still very happy with my unit,
Jerry
