A good player will allow you to use it while it's charging.

The clock in the bookport is something I hope they keep, and I agree that an external speaker could be an asset.
Then I always have the ability to vote with my wallet and not buy the new bookport when it might come out.
NancyI happen to have a victor stream also. That is why I can say with conviction that I dislike the proprietary batteries.

 With The Lithium batteries, they don't lose their charge.  I have a Victor
 Reader Stream, and the rechargeable built-in batteries are nice..  You
 would just plug in the new BP at night while you were sleeping.  You
 wouldn't be listening to it then, anyway.  By the time you would need to
 replace them, something else would probably be wrong with it.  Or maybe
 you could buy an extra battery.  No need to worry about a product that
 hasn't been released yet.

 Knowing APH's track record, BP 2 will be great when it is released.

 Jeremiah 29:11 - 14.
 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper
 you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you
 will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You
 will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be
 found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity.
