Hi All,
I've been listening again to Brian's review of the Book Sense. I'll
hopefully be deciding which player to buy over the next week. I have a
couple of initial questions, I hope someone will be able to answer!
Book Sense questions:
1, How are folk finding battery usage. Concerns were raised in the review
about battery drain in the stand-by or off position.
The battery lasts around 12 hours whether your playing audio or listening
to text documents. The device does drain a little power when in the
standby mode, but it would take some weeks to fully drain the battery with
the unit being on standby.
2. Can the battery be replaced, and if so, does it have to be returned?
No, the battery can be replaced by the purchaser, however replacement
battery packs aren't available as yet.
3. What is the latest version of the firmware, and have any improvements
been made.
The latest version of firmware is V1.1 released in August of this year. A
new update is due to be released at the end of the month.
Milestone question:
1. Is there a Text to Speech engine in the latest version, and is it worth
considering alongside the Book Sense, Pocket, and Stream.
Finally, I'm surprised none of the players allow text input for document
searches. I would have thought a mobile phone style keying system could
be
adopted?
Regards, Kelvin
