Paula,

There are lots of options out there.  Check at
www.etronics.com
Or
www.circuitcity.com

Just do a search for portable speaker

I have a little unit made by Creative that I got on sale for $39 after
rebates, but that offer isn't available any longer, and although they =
sound
terrific, I don't think they are worth $69 which is their regular price.
Panasonic makes 2 or 3 models that also sound very good.  I have one of =
the
Panasonic models that I also use from time to time that I Paid $29 for.
These are of a folding design and they sound great considering their =
size.
Unfortunately, I can't recall the model number of the Panasonic set I =
have,
but I am pretty sure that both Circuit City and Etronics carries it.  =
HTH

Best regards,

Hi listers,
I'm seriously considering buying a Bookport, but I have only one
reservation, so thought I'd ask those of you who are already using the
bookport for input.

Right now, I do most of my reading whether from Bookshare, Web Braille, =
or
any other type of file that is in a format that can be accessed, with my
M20.  For some reason, i don't like reading on the PC.  I guess I like =
the
idea of being able to move around, and of course with the M20, you've =
got
access to Braille if you want to read that way.  So, here is my =
question:  I
know that the bookport has no internal speaker, and of course, for times
when we are travelling, that is fine.  However, I can't see myself =
sitting
at home with my feet up relaxing with a pair of headphones or earbuds =
on.
For me, they are usable, but not comfortable.  So, what kind of options =
are
available in terms of external speakers that can be used with the =
bookport.

Thanks,

Paula
Mack
