Hello, all. I had something really weird happen with my book port this 
weekend, and wanted to write and ask if anyone else has ever experienced 
this phenomena before. I was traveling to my grandparents' house and had 
the bp in my purse as always with the headphones wire sticking out so that 
I could listen. In a separate region of the purse, I had my cell phone 
turned on.
Twice, within an hour or so, the bp spontaneously restored itself to the 
factory settings and put me back to page 60 in the book I had been trying 
to read. The bp's keypad was locked both times, and I wasn't touching 
anything either time, so something else had to be causing the resets.
I'm wondering if somehow, the cell phone got a signal of some sort 
thatsomehow transmitted to the bp, causing the resets to happen.
On the way home that night, I kept the bp more separated from the phone and 
all was well. Also, all is well if the phone isn't turned on in the first 
place, so is there any documentation that bp's don't function properly when 
in close proximity to cell phones? Just curious as I've never had trouble 
with my bookport before this incident. Any thoughts would be extremely 
appreciated.
Missy
