Rob - I think it must be, but I have no way to get back to the prior beta unless you want to send it to me off-list. I never noticed it before this beta and it's a function that I use relatively frequently. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ROB MEREDITH" <rmeredith@xxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 4:08 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: Beta 2.1.0.22 - Lengthy pause before pagenumber is announced in Settings Walt: Actually, it has always been like this. I hope the beta isn't slower than before. Rob Meredith >>> walt@xxxxxxxxxx 01/17/06 03:56PM >>> I don't recall this being an issue prior to the new beta. To reproduce: 1. Position yourself in a file at, say, two-thirds of the way through the book. The book should have a fairly large number of pages. 2. Open the Settings by pressing the 0 key. Use either 2 or 8 to navigate to the Page Number selection. My unit takes a noticeable period of time to announce the page number if it's, say, page 225 or something like that. I can almost hear the device counting the pages. <g> As I said, I don't recall having seen this in any previous beta or official release. -- Walt Smith - Clearwater, FL walt@xxxxxxxxxx
