I notice the inconsistency and I think there have been some
attempts to address it in the case of other keys - page back is
one I believe was changed such that it goes to the previous page
rather than to the top of the current page.

Subject: [bookport] BUG OR FEATURE, SOME FILES WON'T NAVIGATE
BACKWARD?
Hello. Let me appologize in advance for the length of this
message.
Background:
I'm running Bookport, Firmware V2.1, released in June of this
year, I
believe.
Description of problem:
I have a number of texts on my Bookport, some gleaned from Daisy
files from Bookshare, some gleaned from the ASCII files on the
CDROM which
came with the Bookport, and some indexed MP3 files.
When reading through some of the texts, I find that the 1 and 4
keys
go back to the beginning of the current line or sentence while
reading, but
no further, regardless of how often I press the 1 or 4 keys. On
other texts, which appear to be indexed exactly the same
way, repeated use of the 1 or 4 keys while reading causes the
reading
pointer to move past the beginning of the current line or
sentence, and on to the
beginning of the previous line or sentence. In all cases, the 7
or 1-4
keys appear to work properly and move backward, from page to
page, or
section to section, as advertised in the documentation.
Is there some feature whereby some sort of hierarchical
navigational
restriction can get turned on such that only commands which move
you backward
through the texts with less granularity take precedence over ones
which
move in smaller increments? It is worth noting, that there is
never a
problem moving forward through texts, just backward.
At first I thought the problem was that I wasn't hitting the
navigational keys fast enough. The pointer would move back to the
beginning
of the selected index point, and them move forward as reading
continued.
Then, when I pressed the key again, the pointer would be beyond
the
beginning of the selected index point, and so it would move back
to where
it was. Then, I discovered some files where the behavior was
different.
With those files, when navigating backward, Bookport would move
bak to the
beginning of the indicated index point, then, with another key
press, it
would move back to the beginning of the previous block.
Has anyone else noticed this inconsistency? Has anyone else
noticed
it and figured out what's different? Is there some feature of
which I'm
not aware?
-thanks
