Hi Linda,
I think Bluetooth has a range of about 30 feet. So, you could move about
that far away from your Bookport. The idea is to get rid of the wire
hanging around between your headset, you and the BP.

This is going to sound like a dumb question, but, when you use the bluetooth
headphones, do you still carry the book port around with yo while listening
to it through them?
