I'm in complete agreement with Mike's comments with respect to the ability
to run the BP from an AC converter and especially regarding inclusion of a
radio. However, I'd even forego the AC option if it would significantly
increase either the physical size or weight of the device. This, to me, is
one of those "It would be nice but I can certainly live without it"
features, just as a built-in speaker would be.

The one suggestion I would have is to allow it to be plugged in with an A.C.
adapter and save the batteries for those times when on the go. I personally
don't think we need a radio in this device, it's mainly designed to be used
for reading, and there are plenty of pocket radios out there. With the small
size of the files that are sent to book port, USB 2.0 might make some
difference, but probably nothing major.
