hello,
I have had mine for a good while now, but I am not sure that you could say I
give it the use a lot of people on this list do, since I use it mainly when
I am away from the house, like in a hotel and such.
I confess to having some apprehension when I do start to use the unit more,
and if because of the heightened use, I will experience problems similar to
what I have seen on the list.
I do know that when and if something happens, I will either get a
replacement, or by a new unit, as I have gotten very used to having control
over the order of MP3 files I have, and this is the only unit I am aware of,
which will read what files are on a card using speech, without listening to
the first ten seconds of each file.
To me at least it is a well thought out unit, packed with features, some of
which I don't even use.
Otto

HI,
I have mine now for 24 hours and up till now it's working fine though
I've not figured out yet how I can read the DAISY books from bookshare. I
hope nothing will happen to my BP cause it's really an awesome device. I
liked it though I didn't have much time to play with it.
Regards
Khalid

I guess I should have asked this before buying two of these but I am
beginning to wonder about the reliability of the bp. Is it possible that
you got several in a batch that all have problems? We just got ours and it
had to be sent back; that lady in the uk said she got hers in july and it
has problems. And now there's the person who lives in Louisville who got it
yesterday and it has to go back.
And, when they are new like this, under 30 days old, why are they not
automatically replaced? I was told if it can be repaired it can take up to
four weeks before we get it back. Of course, if you did get a bad batch,
then replacing it with another faulty one would not be good, either. We
looked forward to getting the book port. We had heard that it is an
excellent product. That is why I'm wondering if you got a bad batch.
It really makes me apprehensive.
