Sandy, Was that a typo or are you seriously saying that the book Sense can take approximately 3 minutes just to navigate to another page? I can understand why some people think their unit has locked up if that is the case. Most books I read tend to be in the 400-600 page range. Hopefully this is one of the issues on the "to do" list - that could be a real impediment to interacting with a book.
I did notice in the early demo podcasts from GW Micro that it seemed to take a long time just to open up a book. What happens when one jumps from book to book as might be done when trying to compare two documents, doing research, homework, etc.? Has this been an issue? I'm still on the fence about buying this unit. Although it seems to have great potential, I'm concerned about the problems people who own these units have and the speed with which the issues are being addressed. But, for the time being, I've decided to be patient and see what the next update brings. --Pete -----Original Message----- From: Sandy Licht [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 05, 2009 12:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [GW-Booksense] Lock-Up on Page Navigation I haven't actually had the BookSense lock up when navigating to a certain page, but sometimes it takes a long time to get there! I mean, about 3 minutes or so. I think this has something to do with the size of the book. The book I am talking about was approximately 450 pages.

Sandy Licht Turn right, then go straight! Jeremiah 29:11-14 (Amplified Bible) 11For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. 12Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. 13Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.(A) 14I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
