Hello Shelly,

I have had the same problems with two PQ books. I think its the books
because i can read them just fine on my computer. My friend has had
the same problem with hers doing that too. Mine also repeats
paragraphs with certain books. They are normally publisher quality
books. I think it might be the booksense, however my friend thinks it
might be the books themselves.  There is another way to restart your
booksense. You take a pin, and stick it in this tiny hole on the right
side of your booksense, while holding down the number five button. I
think you hold it down for 10 seconds. I normally just pop out the
battery.  Like I said, i think it might be the books themselves. It
only happens with PQ books for some reason.  For me it was "A Dance
With Dragons," by George R. R. Martin, and "Stalking Darkness," By
Lynn Flewelling.

99.99% of the time, i want to throw mine at the person who sold it to
me. lol  Like I said, since your having the same problem as  me, I
think its the books not working right with the player.
