3. Text to speech is a tricky subject. Many publishers are not keen on this as it hurts audiobook sales. It hasn't caught on yet, but who knows.
4. The sound on my unit is fine for me. I have it turned to 3/4 volume and it's plenty loud. Mostly I use it with the headset, however. There have been other mobile devices that became louder with firmware upgrades. Who knows?

1. I turn mine off when not in use to help conserve battery runtime, however the manual states in at least one place to leave it on while charging.
2. Also the"contents" softbutton will bring up a box which has several tabs including bookmarks, but the default contents tab usually has a link to p.1 at least, or so I've noticed in my books. Usually also has links to individual chapters as well.
4. It has only a single speaker and they put it on the bottom of the device, so it probably gets frequently at least partially if not completely covered by your hand when hold it, and if lying on a surface completely covered... same deal if in a case, it's covered...
Updates: I had to return my first unit(defective USB), but ran mine with WiFi on as much as possible and NEVER got the over-the-air update, so I ended up downloading the sideload update and doing it "manually". (I had even left WiFi on one night while charging with max screen/sleep timeout to 1h and still no download of update... my second NC I ran like this from Friday to Monday evening before giving up and doing the sideload...)
You do the sideload update by copying the sideload zip file to the drive that appear for your NC when plugged into your computer, disconnect the NC, wait a few minutes(had a bit of a problem my first attempt), then power cycle the NC. When it restarts it should go to a screen that says something about updating and has an orage progression bar at the bottom. Once it's done it reboots the NC automatically. (Just make sure that you have a pretty good charge in the battery if you're not doing this while running on the charger...)
