I've had my Bookport since August of 2003. I have never had a problem
with the d e f command.
I just used it last weekend.
One thing I do notice is that the Bookport does not retain time
settings.
In fact, most of the time, when I use the d e f command, if I
subsequently press the 2 key for one beep after changing the batteries I
will hear, "date and time not set".

When I press D E F, I have always only gotten the double beeps. The BP
has
never spoken anything. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. I
have had mine since January of 2005.

11For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They
are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a
hope.
12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in
earnest,
you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you," says the
LORD...
