I'm with you all the way on that. The BP is a wonderful device but at the
very top of my wish list is an internal speaker.

Subject: [bookport] bookport needs a speaker:
When I examined a book port for several weeks beginning around memorial day,
I was most put off by the fact that I had to augment the unit with something
else before even beginning to use it. Yes, it's lovely, but no walk man
that I know of costs 500 dollars. I know that the IPod and its kin require
augmentation too, but we are talking about a classic need here and that is
one of being able to hear the audio and for 500 dollars, you'd think we'd
get something with a speaker in it.
Further on the discussion of what should be in the book port, I was
disapointed that I could not just load something into the book port without
yet another augmentation which granted like headphones was supplied but
unnerving nonetheless especially if you need better headphones or an
external speaker or a bigger card. I was fully informed and it was no
surprise but the reality was a bit different from the knowing in advance.
Were a speaker emplanted into the bp we could have error tones and other
tonal indications augmenting our experience.
I'd love to hear the wisdom behind the current design other than perhaps
better bat life and a more compact design?
Thanks!
