Sorry, I can't put a date on that one.
The issues are multi-threading. That is, when you have several alarms
plus several other activities in process at the same time, scheduling
becomes problematic.

Good point except that the volume might not be loud enough to awaken =
someone. However, some of us wake up fairly easily so the internal
beep =
would probably work.
Any idea of when such a feature might be available? Out of curiosity

what are the issues?

This is something we have had in the planning since day 1, but we have
run into some technical issues. In fact, you will not need a speaker,
because there is a beeper built into the device (like what you get
when
you press a key while the keys are locked.)

As new features are added to the Bookport how about adding an alarm
=3D
feature? If I travel with a small external speaker, as I do for =3D
listening to the BP in hotel rooms, I could set a wake up alarm or a
=3D
reminder alarm which would play through my external device. Would
this
=3D
be so hard since we already have a clock on board?
