Also, you can buy folding headphones which make the whole thing a bit easier. I'm using Sennheiser PX100 headphones with the Bookport, and I'm very pleased. I got these on Amazon for about $40, but they are well worth the investment. The headphones fold, and they come with a carrying case of their own. But I am using a case that came with an old 4-track Talkman. I can put the BP and folded headphones in the main part of the case, and I put my extra memory cards in the extra pouch on the front. Of course, I often wear the BP on my collar as well. I don't mind looking dorky. <grin> Angie
