Marion and I are sharing a book port. At this time, we are primarily
interested in audible.com books. He activated the bp on his computer with
no problem. He told me it would ask me for my user id and password. And
maybe it did, but if so, I did not hear it. I tried several times to send a
book, hoping I would get the activation menu. I did not. Finally, I
contacted audible.com and they managed to get me activated. They also
started the process of sending a book. I then sent the second part of the
book.
Marion checked it out and started to play part 1 and it started to play. He
stopped it. When we settled down and wanted to read the book, we heard
something like appli. I will not bore you with all our trials and
tribulations but to say when you are new to something, you suspect the
worst. The book port did not function as we thought it should. Having gone
through the thing about being in the wrong folder earlier, we tried pressing
star+ zero.
We even tried changing batteries thinking that was what was wrong. We
defaulted. We then got the original flash card and put it in and it played
and functioned just fine. We switched back to the 512 card and were able to
move to the book he had put on it and it played just fine.
I then decided that perhaps since I had repeatedly tried to send a book when
not activated that somehow a code got in there so that the book would not
play. This morning, I deleted the book from both the book port and from
audible manager inbox. I downloaded the book from audible and transferred
it to the book port and all is well.
I had read all I could find pertaining to audible.com in the manual and
could find nothing about such a code getting put into books when the user is
not yet activated.
Also, in our attempts to try to get the bp to function right, I had tried
connecting and disconnectingthe the bp to and from the computer a few
times. At one point I thought I heard a message "fs" warning. I searched
the word warning in the manual and just saw the caution about removing a
flash card while reading.
We have not yet had time to read the manual in its entirety but have tried
to read sections that we are immediately concerned with.
If I am correct about a code getting inserted, I think this possibility
should be mentioned in the manual. I honestly began to think the bp was
defective. This process of trying to get that book to play was over an hour
in length with a great deal of frustration.
