Yes Duane Smith that was what I thought too but I had to click play on each and every chapter unfortunately. I gues that is how it works. Before I purchased this I had a talking Bible in form of an Ipod that just reads continiously but it got spoilt. I thought this would do the same but it does not.

Honestly, it is more like a Mouse. If your software allows the ability to draw like powerpoint would, or paint it works. So if word has the option to allow you to draw freehand It might work. Honestly this was a great tool, my wrist didn't hurt that much. THe problem is that it does not have a scrolling option, and also the life time it has. It lasted me only 6 months. You know how optical mouses die after a while. (Usually a couple of years.) Well, my i-pen died 6 months after I purchase it, making it an expensive mouse for it's use. I have windows vista and it worked fine with my OS, that is, while it was still alive. Hope this helps you a bit. Good luck. Honestly, it is more like a Mouse.

Yes, I use my shuffle only for audiobooks which I get from the library or Audible.com. First, Connect Shuffle. Then, 1) download book to OverDrive Media Console. 2) Open Finder, book chapters should appear in Finder. 3) Open iTunes: click on File on task bar; click/open "Add to Library" in drop down dialog box. 4) Go back to Finder and highlight book/chapters in Finder. 5)drag chapters to music under devices in "Add to Library" dialog box. 6) Click "open" at bottom of screen. 7) Click "sync" at bottom of screen. Hope this helps. I think I got the steps in order. Seems confusing at first, but after you do it a few times it's easy. Enjoy listening.

The readme file isn't clear (at least to me) that this is about building on the fly playlists with just the mp3 player. The way I read it this is about building playlists without using WMP on your computer and then transferring them to the player...am I missing something?

I just bought the Mosaic and have spent a very frustrating week with a Netlibrary book (18 Hrs). I've spent more time pushing the reset button and trying to get back to where I fell asleep <smile>. When I use the Seek function, it freezes up. The bookmarks haven't been holding.I'm taking it back . I'm also not happy with the fact that I can't find a player that uses batteries. If my charge dies while I"m on the road, I've no way to recharge....at least my old Creative TXFM I popped the battery.

Sort of. It came with this tiny folded booklet with itty bitty print. I didn't even look at it. The thing is pretty self explanatory. Plug it into computer, go to MY COMPUTER, open the MP3 player, drag and drop MP3s into the MP3 player, unplug from computer, plug speakers into player, hit play. Button on top is the on/off. Then there are these buttons on the bottom to scroll through the limited menus (songs, EQ, repeat...) the silver button is to select what ever you have highlighted and then there is a back button, when pushed it will remember your selection. Play/pause and stop buttons are pretty obvious. Nothing fancy but it plays music and that's all I wanted. It is SUPER tiny. Sort of. It came with this tiny folded booklet with itty bitty print.

Didnt recieve any software with the mouse and could not locate any. Now, having said that, its fairly easy to set the function for each of the buttons. Simply press the key on the keyboard you want a button to use while holding down the button on the mouse.....wait a minute...I think its the other way round...hold down the keyboard then select the mouse button...hmmm.....cant remember now for sure...&lt;laugh&gt; Doesnt matter, just try either way and whichever one will work.

This product has a hold feature, but does not allow for resume in the sense that your looking for( such as kindle readers etc ). However, if you don't mind a little work, you can always convert each chapter into it's own mp3 and then burn them all to disk. This will allow you to listen to one chapter at a time, skip a chapter, program which chapter you wish to read, or hold/pause a chapter. You can not turn the player off and come back to the spot you left off at. But, by converting each chapter to it's own mp3, you can avoid having to listen to the entire book again when you turn the player back on. You will only need to start at the beginning of the chapter you left off at. To get the feature you are looking for unfortunately, you will have to have a kindle type reader. I hope this answers your question.

It is *supposed* to work by tracing out the lines or words on your workspace with your fingertip. Sadly, it is not possible to get it to work right as I not only tried it myself, I had several other family members try - of widely varying ages and skills. It is cheap but is even more cheaply made and thought out.

Mine came with a cable, but I didn't use it after I found that...A: It only worked when I had the unit "turned on" (not passive speakers).B: I can NOT imagine any situation where I would like to be using something loud (such as a firearm) AND want to listen to music or books on tape. Unless.. (and here I am thinking about it), I'm stuck up in a tree, waiting for a deer to walk by and using the volume increase to hear nature at a MUCH higher sound, AND have a need to play some iTunes or a book on tape cause I'm bored to tears.or..I want to put on some really great classical music and bounce through the air in slow motion while blowing away targets.

There is no button or setting for continuos play. All you have to do is hit the back button when it moves to the next chapter and keep doing that over and over till you are satisfied with your listening. You have to do it manually all the time you want to listen to a chapter multiple times.

I don't think I got specific instructions with my mouse either, I do not know of a manual for the product. I have found that if the mouse does not seem to be working properly, you have to plug the USB directly to the computer, and not through a USB extension of any kind. Mine would not work, but when I plugged it straight into the computer it worked fine. Do you have a specific question about how to do something? Maybe I can help.

It is supposed to allow you to use the mouse and speaker at the same time, but in my experience the speaker worked but the mouse never did. Suggest you try another brand because this device is not worth the money.

It would be slow. Try read, write and gold version 11 program. You scan the pages and it converts it to speech.

When you connect it to your computer you will have the option to choose any books. You need the books for it to work so if you have the books, yes it will work with them. If you don't, just choose whatever books you have :)

I have used this for audiobooks for more than a year. It is important that it is not paused while you fast forward or it will skip. It also seems that I have the best luck while pressing gently and steadily down on the right arrow key. If I press down without holding, the player skips to the next section. I have found that the player starts up right where I left it off if I hit pause and let it power down on its own. The only times I have to find my place are when I accidentally skip to the beginning of the next section or when I recharge it. I always have a pad by my computer and just write down the section and hours/minutes so I can find my place easily after charging.
