There are other possible approaches, for example you could use the file creation date to reset the clock if it is more recent that the current system date (this takes advantage of the clock on your desktop PC which sets the date when the file is copied to the device). |
Thanks for the link. I think I remember reading it when it came out, that is what prompted my question. Right now, the libraries that I have access to do not rent ebooks. I keep checking though. Fortunately I can get audio books, and I am very happy there. I can't wait to get the Pocket Pro so I can use the TTS for the ebooks I don't have audio on now.
Yes I know it will be electronic. I have an electronic TTS software now that I can convert my txt to audio. It's not perfect but I get used to it.
