This is to clear something up that Jamie explained and for anyone else who isn't aware of this. From my own earlier message:
Want to know how to use your Victor Stream, BookSense, BookPort, Plextalk Pocket, NLS player, any other book player or Talking Mp3 Player with Bluetooth headphones, speakers, through a stereo system, etc? Here's our new podcast on the Miccus Bluetooth devices we offer and how to use them as a blind or vision-impaired person to enable any book player or other non-Bluetooth audio device to use Bluetooth:
http://www.blind-geek-zone.net/bluetooth-devices-and-using-them-with-your-ta... So yes, anyone can get just about any non-Bluetooth device with a headphone jack to transmit to Bluetooth speakers, headphones, or whatever using Bluetooth by plugging in a Bluetooth transmitter. Take a listen to the above podcast where I demonstrate this. i've been listening to audiobooks on my own Talking MP3 Player using a Miccus Bluetooth transmitter and Bluetooth headphones for some time now.

From memory, not all the players that you list before have this capability.

Bluetooth is just a technology that transmits or receives audio signals wirelessly making it so that you can listen to your audio content without wires getting in the way. I usually recommend to any international folks who are interested in a low cost item to seek out a similar item locally. However, the shipping amount is determined by the size of the package, so depending on what you wanted to order, I may or not recommend that you seek it locally. We are offering some great savings via coupon codes on the Bluetooth items at this time which would pay for the shipping amount depending on your order. If you contact me privately and let me know what questions you have, I can better help you in a timely manner as I'm subscribed on the digest for this list and it may take an entire day for me to see and answer your message.

Hi,
I own a Plextalk Pocket and I am blind. It is not Internet connected so I do not know what Bluetooth is about. Would any of your speakers still be relevant to me? I am in the United Kingdom so would postage make one of your units of prohibitive cost?

Hi all,
In case you missed it on our site, we've been carrying a new very small and compact Bluetooth speaker. It has a line in and an auxiliary cable so it can be used as a regular speaker as well as a Bluetooth speaker. Sounds great for such a small speaker! It's very easy to use, simple switch, audible sound when turned on and paired.
For those who haven't heard, it's possible to use Bluetooth technology with your Book Player and other non-Bluetooth devices, including Talking Mp3 Players, information and my podcast about this is later in this message.
This speaker, the iWave iBS045 Bluetooth Wireless Portable Speaker is $29.99 on our website and regularly sells from $40 to $50. It's a close-out special and we have a very limited supply and won't be able to get more of the same kind. Until this Thursday, midnight, we still have a coupon code in effect that takes $10 off your purchase when you buy 2 or more Bluetooth products: http://www.talkingmp3players.com/speakers.html
We also have our popular New Miccus Pool Party Bluetooth speakers, which also qualifies for the coupon code, with cable to also use it without Bluetooth, audible sounds when turned on and paired, easy tactile buttons, splash proof (use out by the pool or in the bathroom while you shower) and 5W, 2+1 speakers; 2+1 means that in addition to the 2 front fired speakers there is a rear mounted bass radiator to give you full fidelity in a portable all weather package. http://www.talkingmp3players.com/speakers.html
Here's my audio demonstration of the Miccus Pool Party Bluetooth speakers using my Talking Mp3 Player and the Miccus Mini-jack TX to connect to it via Bluetooth:
