Hi Walt and list:
The TDK speakers come (or used to, anyway) in both mono and stereo versions.
The ones I have (the stereo version) are about the size of a rather thin
book and they open and stand up in an inverted V shape. They take three
triple A batteries and sound really good with the BP. I can never remember
the name they go by, but someone will remember and post it here--they can be
found at Amazon and other online vendors. I'd suggest checking:

for the best price once you get the exact name to search for. I think I paid
around $20 or so for the stereo ones about eighteen months ago or so.

Can you give me more info on the TDK speakers? I am interested in what speakers other people are using since I am not a big fan of headphones. I was very sorry to hear about your BP. It sounded like something that would happen to me.

Yes, I do use a case for the Bookport, and at this particular time, it was inside the TDK portable speaker. However, as I'm sure you know, none of these cases are really water-proof. It was just an unfortunate accident, and I'm not really too upset about it since I do have another Bookport.
Hopefully, this one will either dry, or I will send the unit in for repair.

Hi, This won't help much right now but I have found it a good idea to put my book port in a soft case in which I used to keep a small cassette recorder. It has a handle for easy portability and room for some extra batteries and an earbud. Just a thought but perhaps you can purchase a raincoat for your drowned one! Bummer, I know.
