Anthony:
Although there is no "Undo" feature, you could use some of the other
Navigation commands, such as moving back by chapter, page or paragraph,
to try and find your place. If you have an idea of how much of the book
you read, you could try the Power Move command and go back from the end.
The Power Move commands are d plus e to move back, and e plus f to move
forward.
From the User's Manual:
Book Port's power move commands provide a quick means of moving through
large sections of a file. Here is how it works:
When you press one of the power search commands, Book Port moves half
way from the current position to the other boundary of the power search.
If this is
the first time you use this command, that boundary will be the
beginning or end of the file. When you use the command, Book Port moves
and responds with
the new percentage of the file position.
If you use the command again without pressing any other keys, the
position in the file where you were when you used the command gets
treated as the new
boundary in that direction. So, if you were at the beginning of the
file and you pressed the Next Power command, Book Port moves your
reading position
from the beginning of the file to half way to the other boundary of the
file which, in this case, is the end of the file. This puts you in the
middle of
the file and Book Port responds, "50%." Now, if you press the Back
Power command, the unit moves you from the 50% point to half way to the
other boundary
which is, in this case, the beginning of the file, and Book Port
reports, "25%." If you then used the Next Power command again, Book Port
would move you
half way between the 25% point and the 50% point.
This command works in both idle and reading modes. If you were in
reading mode when you use the command, Book Port moves to the new
position and continues
reading from that point.
Hope that helps.

I was listening to one of the books that came with book port and I held
down a key for too long and ended up at the end of the book. What would
be useful is if there was a key combination that undid the last move
command and returned you to where you were. I have looked in the manual
and can't find an undo command.
