Encouraging to hear there will probably be a bookport II. I'm about to
controdict myself. It would make the B P much more expensive if they do all
the add ons we would like; even so, I would like an internal speaker. Even if
its low volume, and if you still use earbuds or an external speaker most of the
time, it's nice to be able to check things quickly with such a speaker. I find
the internal speaker on the stream and the ds50 extremely convenient.
