Jackie, it was your excellent comments on this list some few weeks ago that persuaded me to go ahead and get the KK. I am delighted with my purchase, again thanks to yourself, as with NC10 and other items discussed on list. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Alfred I'm quite new to this, but I'll do my best as people were very kind in helping me to be up and running with mine. If you arrow down to a book, press the centre of the small square to open it. Next, you need to turn on the TTS. Press the key to the right of the space bar, then arrow down I think four times until you hear "Turn ontext-to-speech", and press the centre of the small square again to activate.Now your KK should start reading from the start of the book. To start or stop continuous reading, press the space bar. As a tip, I tend to flick the power switch to the right to turn off the device when I have finished reading. I don't come out of my book and backto the menu as it saves me having to turn on the TTS when I return to the KKfor my next session. Your place in the book is held, either when you justput your KK into stand-by, or if you exit the book beforehand. But remember that if you exit your book and go back to the menu, you will need to turn onTTS when you return to your book. I would presume that if you are working with three different titles, yourplace in each will be remembered each time you open them. As I say Alfred,I am quite new to this, but I am really pleased I bought one. I had hung off for so long, wondering if I could listen to a TTS voice throughout abook. But there is a lot out there that isn't available in audio or Brailleformats, so it has become very useful to have the KK. Good luck.

He put it down to not knowing how it worked with speech but I am not so sure. Would someone be so kind as to write me out step by stepinstructions as to how to choose one of my 3 books open it and start readingit. At this stage I am interested in the following, 1. Continuous reading but pausing when I am interupted.# 2. Resuming my reading from pausing.3 Navagating through the 3 books as I might like to be reading two or threeof them at the same time. I presume where I stop, when I start that book again I will be in the same place as where I left off.
