Latest Beta and File PositionThis is not new behavior. I see it happening
sometimes, with some files. I generally download files from Bookshare, create
text files, and transfer them to my Bookport. Some of them exhibit this
behavior, some don't. I don't know why.
It has happened to me, on occasion, with every firmware update.----- Original

Subject: [bookport] Latest Beta and File Position
Here is a behavior I am seeing in the latest beta which I have not observed
before (or at least not as badly).
1. I am listening to a book ("Catch Me If You Can") which I downloaded
from Bookshare in DAISY format onto my Bookport. Actually, I transferred it to
the Bookport before updating to the BP Transfer beta which I installed today
(Friday).
2. While in continuous reading mode, I will hit one of the keys to
adjust speech rate or volume.
3. The BP suddenly will skip back several sentences and continue reading
from a prior position in the book. Now I know that some stuff probably gets
caught in the buffer, but I've been surprised at how far back the BP is
jumping. I seem to feel that in the past, such a jump would only occur
possibly to the previous sentence. Note, I don't think the jump is to a
previous marking in the DAISY text since, if I stop the BP after the jump, I
can hit the 3 key (while reading is stopped) to advance several sentences
before I am at the position I was before hitting one of the speech rate or
volume keys.
4. I am seeing a similar behavior if I stop reading - i.e., when I start
again I can sometimes be several sentences back from where I had stopped (not
just one sentence).
Just curious if something changed or this is a particular attribute of how
this book was originally marked.
