Walt, the only difference is that you hear a beep and you know it is
locked. If you locked it and didn't hear a beep, you would have to
remember if you locked it or of it is now reading "War and Peace for
13 hours until you happen to press another button.
I still agree that there could be something better as I pointed out in
an earlier post.

But if this is the case, why is there absolutely no difference in
performance when the unit is locked whether I have Lock Beep set to on
or off? As I read the documentation, with Lock Beep set to off and the
unit locked, it should not beep.

Exactly. That is why there is nothing wrong with it.

Yes, it has to wake up to do the locked beep.

The BookPort has always worked this way. When it's locked and a key
is pressed, it wakes up and then goes back to sleep in ten seconds.
Mine did this in July of 2003, and it still does. I don't think
there's anything wrong, it's just the way it works.

Which is my point. The buttons beep regardless of whether Lock Beep is
set on or off, so I don't think it's working correctly, is it?

Walt, Sorry if I am repeating things you know, but I don't remember
the first part of this thread. as I understand it, when lock is
turned on and you press a key, the book port wakes up. The beep
afterwards is the book port going back to sleep just as it would when
you finished reading. So, the bottom line is that if the unit is in
some kind of case which keeps on pressing keys, the book port will
continue to turn itself off and on. I guess this is a bit better than
having it begin to read and never stop until the 2 key happens to be
pressed again. By the way, mine has done this since I first purchased
it.

This has been the situation for so long that I honestly can no longer
remember when it worked right, but there is no difference in
performance of my BP whether I have Lock Beep turned off or on. In
either case, when the unit is locked and I press a key, it beeps after
several seconds. I guess it's one of those things that I simply never
took conscious notice of and as a result, I honestly can't say when
this behavior may have started, but it's been a long, long time.
