It's just one of those Bookport quirks I have learned to live with. Actually, setting a bookmark would take me back to where I left off.At 12:29 PM 8/24/2007 -0400, you wrote:

Maybe setting bookmarks would help. It wouldn't get you back to the exact place where you stopped, but you could possibly get closer.

There was a bug that made the Bookport act in this manner. I don't think the issue was ever resolved, because it frequently happens to me. I just navigate to where I left off reading. It is a pain in the neck, though.

It happens with all files now and I believe I have the latest firmware update which was downloaded in March this year.

Hi Francis:

Does this behavior only happen with that particular file, or does it happen with other files?

Are you running the latest firmware and software?

Hello Listers:

Just after I downloaded the last Harry Potter book on to my
Bookport something odd has been happening.  When I stop the
unit from speaking or when the 30-minute maximum time has been
reached and I press the reading key the Bookport begins to
read text that I have heard previously and it necessitates
pressing a key to go forward to skip all that was read
previously.

Is there something that I can do to correct this problem?
Since receiving my Bookport in November of 2004, this behavior
has occurred until late last week.

Francis Khan
