Files from Audible can be quite loud. So can music. I also believe
it would be nice to be able to have separate volumes for TTS and
audio, but it would be seemingly impossible to differentiate between
types of audio.

I remember hearing that, but were the speakers blowing out because
of the overloud maximum volume of the TTS voice, or because of the
volume of NLS and RFB&D books? Since the max TTS voice has always
been louder, it is unlikely that any of the problems with blown
speakers were because the audio was too loud. If they increased the
maximum volume of the audio, without increasing the max volume of
the TTS voice, there shouldn't be a problem because after they
reduced the maximum volume overall, I haven't heard anything more
about blown speakers; which means they've got some leeway to
increase the max volume of the audio without risking damage to the speakers.

I don't think it will be possible to increase the volume for nls and
rfbd books. It was stated any increase in volume will blow out the
speakers in the booksense.

The issue is not just independent volumes for the TTS and audio. The
max volume for the audio needs to be lifted. If you just get
independent volumes for the two without being able to increase the
volume for the audio beyond what the max is now, that won't solve
the problem of NLS and RFB&D books not being loud enough.
Also, I'd still like to see the equalizer in the music player, such
as it is, support all the other file types the BS will play, not
just mp3 files.
While I'm wishing for things I have little hope of getting, I'd also
like to hear what the battery level is when the unit is charging,
not just that it is charging. My laptop tells me what the battery
level is while it's charging, so I don't see why the BS can't do it.
But I've never seen anyone else ask for this here, so I guess that
won't be in an upgrade anytime soon.

Gary,
Thanks, I could not have said it better. The TTS volume issue is
a major annoyance for me and I also have been wanting to access the
large volume of material from the public library that uses DRM WMA.
Also, after a year the Bluetoot feature of the XT does not work
properly. I must atleast daily reset the Bookscence. Plus Bluetoot
controls from the Bluetoot headset should be enabled. I do wonder
if GW Micro and HIMS are listening. I will not recommend the
Bookscence to anyone at this point. If the fix these issues I might
consider reavaluating that.
A additional volume issue which a posted here and heard nothing
about has to do with using the Booksscence to drive a car or home
stereo. The max output from the eqrfphone jack is insofficient to
properly drive a line in on devices without haveing to crank up the
volue on the receiving device. This causes a problem if you
accidentlay switche the home or car stereo to another source. Youe
will get a blast of sound since you will have had the volue cranked
up to compensate for the Bookscence low output level.
Is GW Micro still monitoring this reflector/

Direct entry of radio frequencies is just one more feature that

BookSense, along with a method of text entry for searches, renaming
files, etc. The Book Port Plus has 3 different methods of entering
text. After more than a year since its release, the BookSense has none.
I wonder just how much programming time HIMS dedicates to the
BookSense compared to their far more expensive notetakers. Will we
ever see any of the features we've requested from the first, such
as setting independent volume levels for the menu voice and
playback and the capability of listening to Overdrive books and
other DRM-protected files?

A period would not be necessary. It would be easy enough to ignore
the decimal similar to telephone banking or using an ABM.

I've given this a little more thought, which I should have done
before I sent the last message. Since there is no "period" or
"point" key, perhaps that could be omitted. In other words, if you
wanted 93.4, you could just put in 934. Alternatively, they could
use the "number" key for the "point" key in that particular operation.

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.
