I too, am having a lot of trouble with my book sense. The book sense
won't recognize my computer and today I can't get any sound when I turn
it on or off. I am having trouble doing resets because my fingers jerk.
I like the book sense when it works but I am always waiting for the
other shoe to drop because as soon as I think everything is fine
something else happens.
Yes, I have trouble doing resets but one shouldn't be required every
time I turn around.
I hope the new firmwear will make the book sense more stable.
I am glad I have a stream and will go back to it.

I also have a Stream from just a few months after it was released and I
prefer the BookSense over the Stream in every way.
It just goes to show you that much of these discussions are all about
personal preference.
I'm glad you post your opinions and I don't think anyone should hesitate of
voicing what may be unpopular opinions. If everyone liked the same things,
how boring would that be.
And, protected WMA support is coming, it just hasn't made it into the
firmware yet.
Also, the ability to read Word, even Word 2007 documents is a huge plus for
the BookSense.

Subject: RE: [GW-Booksense] Booksense and the VR Stream
I have owned a stream ever since it was released, and my wife recently
gifted me with a booksense xt.
I absolutely like the stream better in every way; it's not a popular opinion
on this list I know.
I do not find any difference in the sound quality of the speakers. I can't
really find any use for the built-in memory of the xt, and see my other post
recently in a separate thread on all the issues I've had with the bluetooth.
the only reason I could think of to purchase the booksense and put up with
it's numerous issues would be if you had to listen to files which were the
copy-protected form of wma, which the stream won't play.
I put them both in carrying cases on a belt-clip, so the slightly smaller
size of the booksense is no advantage to me, and ends up making it harder to
always find and press the correct key.
the radio does not work when you're using bluetooth, something I forgot to
mention in my bluetooth post; actually, it doesn't work when you're using
the speaker unless you go plug in headphones.
hth,
Chip

Subject: [GW-Booksense] Booksense and the VR Stream
Hi All
I was wondering if anyone had any objective opion on the booksense compared
to the VR Stream. I have a stream right now, but there are some things,
like size and that you can put apple itunes files (?) on the booksense and
have them be usable with the booksense.
Now i am aware that there have been people who have talked about the battery
life in the booksense is not as good as the VR. However is the speaker
amplifier in the booksense offer louder output in maximum internal speaker
volume due to the 1 watt output , vs the miliwatt output offered by the
victor? is the speaker sound quality better or worse then the victor?
Does the booksense do both RFB and NLS books at the present time? any
performance issues that still linger from from previous concerns that were
addressed on a few of the message boards a little while back?
Basically should i use what i have for the present time and maybe wait until
things improve a bit further with this device?
Thanks Zah
