Subject: [GW-Booksense] BookSense impressions
Hi both GW staff and members of the GW-BookSense list. I just
recieved
my BookSense xt and I've been loving it. I am glad that I went
with
the BookSense but I would like to share my likes and dislikes
with you
all.
Pros
1 The size is great. It fits in my pocket very easily and since
I'm a
student it is great to grab my BookSense and go. It will be a
valuable
tool for my studies.
2 I love the radio. It is a lot better then I thought it would
be.
3 The recording. It is useful to have a recorder for recording
notes and such
4 The clock. It's nice to have a clock and alarm handy.
5 The navigation. I find that the navigation is very easy to
use.
cons and suggestions
1 The volume for the synthesizer and music and books aren't
separate
so when you are listening to a audio book for example and have it
very
loud when the synthesizer speaks it's very loud. I would like to
see
different volumes for materials and the synthesizer.
2 When I am playing an NLS book and press the mode button to go
to a
different mode and switch to the sd card and then switch back to
the
flash disk the BookSense does not remember my position. I would
like
this to be changed.
3 When I play a music file that is 11 minutes long the BookSense
remembers the position and the only way I can go back to the
beginning
is to press 8 and type in 0 percent. Another thing that is
annoying
about this is that when it is at the end it goes on to the next
track.
This is all well and good but when I play the file again it does
not
go back to the beginning. I would like to have a feature where
you can
disable the remembering of files or a feature where the BookSense
does
not remember the position of files in the music folder.
4 When I press play or ok on a foldr the the files are not
playing in
the order they are suppose to. For example I have folders
labeled from
a to z it does not play it that way. I know this because the
last file
is suppose to be z but is why, and the one before that is t, and
z is
somewhere before those files. However when I am in the folder
and
select all with 7 the files play in the correct order. If GW can
look
into fixing that it would be great.
5 When I press 1,4, 2, 5 to go through the books in the NLS
folder the
BookSense sometimes locks up. ANother NLS problem I had is when
I am
playing a book and right arrow quickly through the chosen
navigation
the book stops reading. Then I press star and try to play it
again the
the book would read for about 10 seconds and then the BookSense
would
lock up. Please fix these two problems because I a lot of NLS
books.
Thanks for reading this email and I hope these issues can be
resolved.
Keep up the good work GW Micro and HIMS.
