Hello. In this case, I don't think it's static buildup. If you're listening to audio files, which is what Audible books are, there is a problem whereby the Bookport can lockup this way when keys are pressed. I don't know the exact nature of the problem, but it seems to happen more when at the end of a file than when at the beginning, and in folders that have more files than ones with fewer files. I've reported this to APH, and I'm sure they're looking into it. It's not a problem specifically with the beta code. -Brian On Feb 27, 11:26am, "David Allen" wrote: } Subject: [bookport] Re: BP locking up } Hi Rick and list: } } I have had similar experience to yours.
