Hi Crystal, There have been several messages posted to the list regarding speakers. I'll see if I have some of them and repost. I would highly recommend a set of speakers called the JBL On Tour. They are pocket-sized, sound absolutely great with the BookPort, and have a couple of neat features, such as an automatic shut-off switch and one-touch volume controls. They do cost more than your average, run-of-the-mill, cheap speakers. I got them at Radio Shack for $99, but you can find them online for a bit less. I don't know of a good pair of earbuds, I use a pair of Sennheiser over-ear headphones, PX100, which I would also recommend highly. They weigh 2 ounces and sound fabulous.

Also, although, I am not overly fond of ear buds, I would like a good pair. The ones that came with the Book Port I do not find comfortable, and seem to have a loud hiss in the background. Thanks for any suggestions. Crystal
