Hello. I have answered these in separate emails, but I'll answer here as
well.
1. Regarding the different order of how things were played, in one
instance I had shuffle mode on and I did not in the other. This was my
mistake.
2. The BookSense currently takes longer to navigate when there are
multiple headings and this is an issue HIMS is still working on.
3. Loading BrF books is a bit slow and it's another issue we are aware
of and will have fixed in the future. Loading html or xml documents iss
far faster just FYI.
Many thanks.

I already posted this as part of another thread, but I thought I'd post it
again here under its own subject line, as I have received some emails from
folks privately expressing further interest into the issues I raised.
First, I am referring to the online training that is posted as a recording
on GW Micro's website at the following link:
http://www.gwmicro.com/Audio_Video_Archive/Presentations/audio/BookSenseOnlineTraining10-23-09.mp3
In this recording, there are three things that I have identified as worthy
of a second look:
First, at time index 33:05:
Here, Raul is about to hit play on the music folder, "Cyndi Lauper -
Greatest Hits". The expected behavior is for the Booksense to start playing
all the tracks in this folder, starting from the first one. Unfortunately,
it does not do this; the first track in this folder is the track "True
Colors," but the Booksense starts to play the second track first, "Girls
Just Want to Have Fun." At time index 33:13, Raul hits the right arrow to
play the second track, and it moves to the song, "True Colors," which is in
fact the first song, not the second song.
We can in fact see that "True Colors" is the first song in the folder at
time index 38:41 when Raul hits the 0 key, and the Booksense announces the
name of the file. The name of the file is "00 - True Colors.mp3." Clearly
the track beginning with 00 is the first song, not the second song. So it
would appear the Booksense incorrectly played the second song as the first.
One final note on this point of playing the songs in the incorrect order: In
the Booksense unveiling recording from June, also posted on the same page at
GW Micro's website:
http://www.gwmicro.com/Audio_Video_Archive/Presentations/audio/booksenseunveiling.mp3
Raul does the same demonstration where he hits play on the exact same Cyndi
Lauper - Greatest Hits folder, and this time, the Booksense plays True
Colors as the first track, not the second (See time index 29:05 in the
unveiling recording). Therefore, there is a definite problem.
Next thing to note on the online training recording is at time index 41:18:
Here, Raul has the book, "Wheel of Time, Book 11," open and is instructing
the Booksense to move to heading number 6. It takes the unit approximately
20 seconds (from time index 41:25 to 41:45) to move to this heading. This
seems like a ridiculous amount of time to me; it should be instantaneous or
very close to it.
Third thing to note on the recording is at time index 46:36:
Here, Raul is opening the Transformers book which is in .brf format. He is
using the document application to do this. I timed it, and it took the
Booksense 40 seconds to open the file (from approximate time index 46:53
until time index 47:33), and you can easily see this too by looking at the
time index as the Booksense opens the file.
Sorry if this was a bit long, but I wanted to clearly document the behaviors
that I noticed that give me some pause as to the Booksense's operation.
Comments are welcome.
