Hey everyone.

I’ve been reading everyone’s postings about The Book Sense and The Blaze E.Z. on The Book Sense Mailing List.

I have The Book Sense Standard and thanks to the new update that came out just a couple of days ago, it works well with my 128 GB S.D. card I have all my stuff stored on. I’ve been enjoying The Book Sense for years, but definitely don’t care much for how they never really got the Daisy format of books working correctly from Bookshare. I get the BRF format of Bookshare books on the player and that works correctly. I keep the books in the Documents Folder and they don’t have any problems. That being said though, I know there are some who enjoy The Blaze E.Z., but it seems that not many do. So I’m wondering what others think on here about the new player. Please, don’t hold back on what you think, good or bad.

James, I have the Booksense standard as well. Where did you get the latest update?
Thanks.

Hi VH.

I was able to get it from the link that was provided, as I'm on the Book Sense Mailing List.
Also, the update should still be on the HIMS website.
If it's not, let me know in a private Message on here and I can private message you the link that way from the e-mail I got it from.

The Booksense is really discontinued? I was surprised to see that.

BG, please post that link here. I'd like to update my Booksense, as well, and can't find the info on the HIMS site.

I'm sure they don't intend it to be a secret, so surely there is no harm in posting a link to the update.

Thanks!
