So thoughts on this new player after a couple of days. First of all, this thing is tiny compared to what I was expecting. I mean the old ones weren't giant, but they would not have fit on the space on my nightstand either. They also weren't heavy, but I wouldn't have been holding them in my lap for a long time. That speaker is a little powerhouse. We can't even keep it at half volume or it blasts everything. I haven't even had to charge the battery yet, and it didn't even come full. What really surprised me is the fact that it took my wireless USB keyboard, as in the kindwear you plug in the tiny little transmitter thing that is very easy to lose. It's funny because the second I turned it on and heard the key beeps and the way the menu structures and such worked, I'm like this is very clearly a humanware product. Yeah, well the copyright made that abundantly clear. I like the little sound effects too, although we're both in agreement that the Wi-Fi connect and disconnect sounds should be reversed. Also, I am extremely glad the put the flash drive in the cartridge hole trick still works. If there is one flaw, it's not having a cover over the USB port. That is a giant open hold. Just asking for things to fall in. If there was one thing I would change, I would get us a bigger voice selection. Yes, I am aware this is a us-only product. However, I have met some fully American people who need a different accent or they have trouble. I know people to this day who use British voices with their screen readers because that's what they understand. We don't have that option. I'm not saying give us every language in the book, but I would at least like access to the full English catalog. I like that they did away with the weird fading out thing with the sleep timer. That scared the shit out of me. When I got my first player. Mine went a little loopy the first couple of days. It forgot to save the time. Verbose mode was very promptly turned off because instead of using the nickname, it decides it wants to blurt out the entire Wi-Fi network titled thing. I wish they would let you rename the book folders in the internal file structure too. My Harry Potter books are all out of order. Also, using the right side USB port to plug in a flash drive will not allow you to copy its contents into the internal memory. If you want to do that, you best. Hope your flash drive is thin enough to fit in the cartridge hole. I also wish they gave us more time jumps since they've put time jumps as a navigation option. You get 5 minutes and that's it. Yes, I know we have rewinded fast forward keys, but say somebody wants to jump by exactly 30 seconds at a time. You're not going to get that with the rewind and fast forward keys. If you hold them down half a second too long. It's going to jump you back a full minute. I like the thing they did with the sleep timer, having it go to sleep at the end of the section, which is dependent on your navigation level. Also, speed adjustments do not appear to be terrible about adding at a bunch of artifacts. That's rare. Bluetooth connection worked without a hitch on the first try. I think the automatically download wish list thing is broken because I had one fail on me last night. When everything I manually downloaded completed. I wish there were ways to access those power on and power off chimes. Those would be excellent notification tones for something. Also, did anyone else notice that you don't have the second beep when you hit play on something? That threw me for a minute. I'm like. Did I just miss something, and then I did it again and I'm like. Nope, it's like not there.
