I have had it power off with NLS and BookShare XML and DAISY format; or, I will ask it to move to a certain place and hangs up trying to do what I ask. Hopefully, the up-coming firmware update will fix because when it is really working, it is one nice system.Dianne----- Original Message ----- From: "Russ Kiehne" <[email protected]>To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2009 6:23 AM Subject: Re: [GW-Booksense] lockupHave you ever had your booksense power itself off while reading nls books? I have. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Curtis Delzer" <[email protected]>To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 2:01 PM Subject: Re: [GW-Booksense] lockupWhile reading an NLS book, I've had lockups, where reset was also necessary. Also, while reading, and I wish to stop, holding down the power button, (play, pause), and the unit turns off while reading, it continues. I know it is still reading because when I press the time and date button I hear it reading while it is announcing the time and date. That, wastes battery? :) Not all the time, but sometimes. when I press that play / pause key and holding it down, the power off signal while still reading occurs. I know, "don't hold down the power button while reading," but it shouldn't do that. :) Another "bug" is the unit still, not often but more than it should, begins to say such things as "end of side one," (and others), and then skips over syllables of the next word, garbling it. When I press "pause," of course it screams about 4 times louder than it should, "pause." Volume jockey I must play to keep my hearing intact. :) There are occasions when, certain NLS materials will not go beyond areas in the book which the Book Sense says exist. Check out, please, DB-Douglas, Carole Nelson-Cat in a Neon Nightmare- A Midnight Louie Mystery-DB58460. NMy books sense, in the "flash disc" area, when I attempt to go beyond "from the book jacket" area the unit skips back to "nls annotation," or even when I get beyond the areas of the descriptions and chapter 1, when chapter 2 is suppose to start, it goes back to the annotation parts of the book, generally landing on "nls annotation."Curtis Delzer.
