Dear Donna, I read many books with my vn, both in brf and txt format, although I do not specifically have access to the web Braille site. I've never had a reading crash using the book reader, but I have noticed that speech stops fairly often, when one reads continuously using the word processor. Even then, the curser remains where it stopped and one can just continue by pressing space with g.
Something that does happen to me using the book reader though, is that speech sometimes stops for about 20 seconds, then usually reads the next sentence and stops again and then proceeds normally. It never happens in the first fifty pages of a book, but I was never thrown out of the document; not even when I read till the battery dies. When I then plug in the charger, after about thirty seconds, it just goes on where it left off before. I've never in the 20 months I own the bn, used that function to talk the battery down. I prefer to read something worthwhile to run it down and reading has the same function than that crazy sentence. To save battery power, I copy one or two books at a time to the my books folder on the flash disk and remove the cf card, reading only from the flash disk.

I only read Web Braille books with my machine, so had been wondering if it was just maybe something having to do with Web Braille. I usually have to do a reset and then go back into the book and find my place. Wouldn't you know? It always happens when I'm totally interested in a book, and am busy doing something while listening. I've been lucky in that I remember what the last few words were when the machine hung, so I have been able to find my place easily.
