All looks good so far.
1.      Sluggishness seems to be fixed when using the navigation keys 1,
3, 7, 9, etc. when reading is in progress.  Thanks for fixing this!

2.      When the firmware was updated, the last thing the unit said was
"loading Spanish" (or something), and then the word "Spanish" was
truncated and spoken as "Spa" .  It would be good to hear a "finished"
message when the firmware was completely installed so that the user knew
when it was safe to begin using the unit and pressing keys again.

3.      It would be nice if the user settings were saved during update
processes.  After every update, the unit announces "defaults restored".
Maybe during an update the following process would be helpful:
        a.      Copy user  to a safe place (maybe even onto a temporary
file on the PC).
        b.      Perform firmware update
        c.      Copy back the saved user settings to the BP.

I particularly like the new features of being able to hop back and forth
easily between the current note and current book and the ability to copy
and paste things from the clipboard.  Great!
