In brf files, you should be able to enter a page number and go = directly to that page. >>> r-carter@xxxxxxx Wednesday, June 09, 2004 8:53:26 AM >>> Hi All, I think the current combo box scheme is just fine. It seems to allow one = to=20 easily select the default which is the whole file if that will fit or = one=20 can select the amount that they want to send. I think it all works great. = I=20 think it is too bad that only format 4 is supported as those files are=20 really large but I understand that is how it had to be. I have already read a couple of audible books on the Book Port and love = how=20 easily it is to move back by a phrase if you want a sentence repeated. = What=20 is the logic behind the page numbering system? In other words, how does = the=20 Book Port determine what page you are on in an audible file or in a = file=20 that started out as a .brf file for that matter?
