Walt,
I can't help you with an explanation as to why this happened, but I can tell
you that I have had this happen to me three times now since running the last
two firmware betas. Isn't beta testing fun?

Subject: [bookport] Never saw this before
Last night, I'd been reading an Audible book. I briefly switched to a text
file, then back to the Audible book. When I pressed the 2 key to resume
reading, the BP announced that the default settings had been made, then said
something that I couldn't understand because of the combination of the high
voice pitch and my own hearing loss, but I did manage to hear something about
"CF card" and "press the zero key to reset." Every key press produced the same
message and when I pressed zero, everything came back. Of course, I had to
re-establish all of my preferred settings and reset the clock. I was placed in
the Audible file that I'd been listening to when this first happened and at the
correct spot in the book, so that, at least, hadn't been fouled up. My
batteries (the 15-minute rechargeable Ray-O-Vacs that I've used without any
problems for several months) are at 60% charge, so it wasn't a low battery
condition.
My question is what would have caused this in the first place? The fact that
I've recovered without any apparent damage to the card or its file structure is
fine, but my technical curiosity has been aroused and I'm simply curious to
know what brought this on.
