I found a nice set of stereo speakers that are battery powered by two double A batteries, have on/off switch and volume, they are hinged together, and have a short (about 15 inches) cord with stereo mini jack for $1999 at Radio Shack. They have very nice sound for the price, and the battery life seems to be very good. These speakers fold together and a small plastic carrying case comes with them that makes them very nice for throwing in a briefcase or suitcase. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Crystal French" <raincrow@xxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 11:01 AM Subject: [bookport] Speakers and ear buds : Hi, : Is anyone using a small set of external speakers with their Book Port that : they really like? : : 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 : :
