ah. OK. Didn't realize that would be necessary. I've never experienced anything similar to this on a PC before. Thought it would be safe just to pause as normal. Power down and switch cards. I'll have to experiment with closing the book first and see what that does, but a part of me thinks I shouldn't have to do that if the booksense was able to take a second to scan the card before announcing book title and position information.

This might explain your problem. You would have the same problem on your computer if you were in the middle of a file on a a disk and switched disks briefly to look at another file without closing the first file. . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Missy Hoppe" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 28, 2009 8:04 AM Subject: [GW-Booksense] a rather humorous booksense discovery: possibly a bug Hi, all. I've discovered something slightly humorous about the booksense, but it's almost certainly a bug of some sort, and depending on the user, it could actually lead to some confusion. I have 2 32 gb sd cards: 1 for fantasy and/or childrens books, and the other for horror, mystery, etc. I am currently listening to some books on the horror/mystery card, but briefly needed to find a quote from a book on the fantasy card. I've always thought it was safest to switch cards with the device turned off. Kind of like safely remove hardware when I use my card reader in windows for transferring files. Anyway, I switched cards, and when booksense powered up, it still thought it was reading "U is for Undertoe," the book on the book from the card which was no longer present. Likewise, when I switched back to the card which I was currently reading from and powered back up, it thought that it was still in the Chronicles of Narnia. I guess I'm saying all this to ask if I'm supposed to go against all logic and switch cards while the booksense is powered on, or if in a future firmware release, a feature can be added where booksense actually takes a second to scan the card and determine which one it is. I realize that it may be too much to ask for it to remember where you are on 2 separate cards, but it should at least not tell you that you're in a book that isn't even on the card that's currently inserted. I'm not complaining about this per say. In my case, I only have the 2 cards, and its fairly easy to keep them straight, but I think that this little glitch could lead to massive confusion if people have multiple sd cards, and I can't imagine it would be that difficult to have Booksense check the card before announcing what the current file is. I hope this makes a little sense. If you need me to try to explain it better, I'll certainly give it a try. Thank you very much for your time, and I hope that everyone is having a great day!
