Steve I have been looking up both speaker suggestions from yourself and Caroline, and find that the Creative Travelsound ones seem to have a number of variations. There is one set as cheap as £19.99 at Amazon, but they also have others that are more expensive. I think the cheap ones are battery only, so I wonder whether the more expensive versions can also run off the mains. Do you know about the various models and which would be best?

They are excellent, and even loud enough to use at exhibitions, even though they are very small.

They cost around £35 from Amazon. I haven't tried them myself, having a small pair of Sony speakers, but there seem to be plenty of happy JBL OnTour owners, so I will seriously consider them when mine need replacing. HTH, Caroline. -----Original Message----- From: bookcourier-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookcourier-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Ibrahim Gucukoglu Sent: 20 November 2007 18:05 To: bookcourier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookcourier] Re: USING SPEAKERS Hi Wendy. The Book courier will work with any speakers that have a 3.5 MM connection jack similar to the headphones supplied with the unit. However, you will need a pair of amplified speakers as the book courier does not provide an output of sufficient impedance to produce a loud volume on a pair of unamplified speakers. If your going to use the BC for a stretch on a pair of speakers, I suggest you get the sort that can be mains as well as battery operated. Hope this helps and if you've any more questions, please get back to me.
