Paula:
I had the same concern as you, when I first got my unit. However, I find
I'm able to read faster with headphones, because the s's and other consonant
sounds are clearer than with an external speaker. If you decide you indeed
want speakers for at home or wherever, one can purchase a quite inexpensive
set that will get the job done. I think you'll find the headphones won't
bother you as much as you might think now. The ear buds, though, are less
comfortable, but more portable.
Hope this helps. Here's my advice: GET A BOOK PORT!<smile>

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.
