Over the weekend, I was monitoring my batteries (standard alkalines) pretty
carefully because I knew they were beginning to get a little low and I was
reading an Audible book, which seems to use up more battery life than
reading a text file for the same length of time. Anyhow, I suddenly got to
the point where the Book Port was reading, but absolutely no keystrokes
would have any effect. I repeatedly pressed 2, D+F, A+C, etc., but nothing
happened--the book just kept right on reading. I started pressing keys
randomly at a pretty fast clip and suddenly, the BP just stopped dead and at
_that_ point, no keystrokes would work. I emphasize that I had not received
a low battery warning and based on the fact that I had been monitoring
remaining battery life very closely, I would estimate that there was at
least 30%; possibly 35%; of their life remaining when all this happened. I
removed the batteries and replaced them with a new set and everything is
working fine again, but this struck me as really strange and completely
unexpected behavior.
