Yeah, the booksense does have it's shortcomings, like short battery life and an inadequate search feature. On the other hand it is a newer technology with a better USB interface and more ROM to expand the programing. Personally I can't see why anyone would switch to another player if you

It does have Bluetooth, a FM radio, 4 GHZ internal memory and USB 2.0, at least the pricier model does, the standard model only boasts USB 2.0. The booksense also because it is a newer player and can take advantage of newer designs in memory that weren't around when the Stream was designed has

Hi It all depends on what those new features are and how important they are, perhaps someone on here can tell us what those new features may be? The thing which puts me off the booksense is the battery time, it only lasts 12 hours and doesn't stop using battery time even when it is switched off,
