Raul,
I agree with you completely. It may well be that there was too big a rush to
get the Book Sense out in the first place even though many of us like me
were anxious to see it happen. I, at this point, would rather see the update
held until it is really ready. I am seeing foibles with handling of the
BookShare DAISY text with a few lock-ups and need for reset, etc. I really
want this stuff to stop when we do get the upgrade. So, complaining or not,
GW Micro and Hims are doing the right thing by fixing the buglets before
making available.

It's not that it's an unaddressed bug, it's that it's a bug which hasn't
been fixed yet since we haven't had an update. I would rather see a delay
in a firmware release rather than a quick release which would introduce
instability. it's because of rushing a release out that there were
problems with the first 1.0 release and we were royally bashed for not
testing enough. So rather than rushing a release and a fix out, we are
taking more time to test better so we don't repeat the same mistakes. This
seems to be resulting in people not being happy no matter what we do. If
we rush things out too quickly, we are bad, if we take our time to test
without rushing, we are also bad.
I personally would vote to not have things rushed. We may lose out on
meeting a certain deadline, but I'd rather have stability than a blue
ribbon to simply say we did it first.
Many thanks.

Ron,
This continues to be a major unaddressed bug in the Book Sense
firmware. It deeply degrades the unit's value to me when reading
Bookshare, TNAUK and many other text files. To my mind, the
mid-sentence pauses completely undo whatever advantage in clarity the
lovely text-to-speech engine has over the Victor Stream.
Please, please GW Micro see that the Book Sense software is revised to
match the great quality of your other products.

I know this has been addressed before, but frankly I hadn't had much
of a problem with this until reading a text file which seems to pause
repeatedly (presumably at line breaks) as it reads. I tried changing
the ignore and don't ignore page breaks setting and also tried
varying "line lengths." I know some here have found a partial
solution to this problem, but I can't remember what that was. As I
say, I had not really had much difficulty with this on other
documents. Is it related to how the document was formatted
originally? Is this more likely to happen with .txt files than say
RTF files?
