Here's another really weird thing that happened to my Book Port. As you =
said, Marlaina, it's not a show stopper, but it's definitely weird. I =
was reading along yesterday and I didn't catch part of a sentence, so I =
pressed the 1 key to go back and read the sentence again. The BP did as =
asked, rereading the sentence, but it started "echoing", as if I had =
suddenly and without knowing it, switched to Ricochet Randy, only I =
could tell it was still Big Bob reading, just with that psychedelic =
echo. (I thought at the time that it may have been an alien infestation =
of my BP! <Grin>)
All I had to do was to wait for the two beeps after stopping the unit, =
and all was well. But I'd love to know why it did this, how to get it to =
do it again, and how to prevent it from happening. I'm sure I won't get =
any of these questions answered, I think it was a once-in-a-lifetime =
thing.
Happy Reading,
Sarah

Subject: [bookport] Odd BookPort Behavior
Hello APH crew!
I have an odd thing to report and while it's not a show stopper, it is =
indeed odd.
I believe this began happening with the most recent update, though I =
can't say for sure as I've been ill in december and can't recall whether =
this happened before or after I became ill. Here's the deal:
Each time I transfer books from my pc to my books folder on my 1 gig =
card then open that books folder by navigating to it and pressing 0 =
pound, my BookPort defaults itself to the second file in that folder. =
It never use to do this, it always found the first file.
Another odd but not show stopping behavior is that I am now experiencing =
the problem Jerry Neufeld reported some time ago, wherein the sleep =
timer does not always trigger. A secondary part of this one is that at =
times when it does trigger, there's no announcement; the BookPort simply =
stops making any sound at all.
Neither of these issues slow down my use of the wonderful device, but =
they are inconsistencies that are new.
Thanks for reading!
