To Shelley and others,

I'm also a Booksense user and most likely have experienced what you have 
encountered.

When I went to convention this July, I asked one of the people at a booth about 
the Booksense. They said that it is the books. To get around the problem, 
simply download the brf file and put it in the document folder on your 
Booksense.

Since I've started doing this, I have no problems. So I'm passing on what I 
learned in hopes that if my problem is also your problem, try the suggestion 
given to me.

Hope this works! (smile)
Natalie

Hi everyone,

I have a question for the Booksense users in the group.

I have now come across two daisy books that my Booksense just can't seem to 
make hide nor hair of, and I usually have to reset, AKA take out the battery to 
get the Booksense working again.

They are Dreamweaver CS4 The Missing Manual

and

Keep the Change and I am drawing a blank on the author.

I can play them on my Book Courier just fine so am confused.

Also is there a um more graceful or appropriate way of resetting the booksense 
besides taking the battery out.  When it got locked in attempting to load these 
particular books, it would beep and beep and beep, and for the Keep the Change 
book I let it beep for twenty minutes without success.

I can't hit the cancel button nore turn the unit off at that point, it doesn't 
respond.

It has just been these two books so far.

But I know both are publisher quality if that has something to do with it.

I will try with some other books and see what I see.

But if anyone has experienced this issue before I would love some insight into 
it and why it does what it does.
