Hello Patrick.
1. I do not know what the multi-lingual status regarding the BookSense.
HIMS has made the BookSense in other languages, however GW Micro is only
authorized to sell it in the US, and only the English version is sold.
2. This has been marked down to look into improving for a future
firmware upgrade.
3. While in the file list, press and hold the 0 key for at least 2
seconds to switch to another drive.
4. Does it always power off on its own while you are reading? Or is it
while listening to something specific such as a specific daisy,
document, or media file?
Many thanks.

I just got the BookSense last week and have a few observations. Forgive me
if they've already been made. I'm interested in public comment.
1. Multilingual capabilities-- As one user suggested Neospeech does not
have many options.
2. The volume in the Voice options of global options should adjust the
speech volume not the system volume. I mean it's in the voices submenu. You
can adjust the system volume by using the volume up and volume down keys.
3. I'd love to see a hotkey for switching the storage card from flash disk
to SD card. What about pressing and holding the key that switches programs?
4. My unit powers off while reading it shouldn't do that unless I have
activated the sleep timer. I've disabled power management, it should only
shut off the unit if it's not reading and there is no activity.
What sold me on this device is the ability to play protected WMA content,
eventually, that opens up a whole world of possibilities that will never be
possible on the Stream in it's current hardware configuration due to a
missing clock.
I used the Stream for a long time and see that the BookSense has allot of
really great potential. I realize that the issues this device is having is
an issue that any 1.0 device will have. The VR Stream had issues just like
these when it was a 1.0 release.
