[Reader-users] Earphone Answer?

[JD Townsend]

Hi Jim and List:

I found that I'd never responded to this note.

I have found that headphones with smaller plugs work well, but 
there are many headphones that have clunkier plugs that work only 
sometimes.   It is the fabric of the case that gets in the way.

Thank you for your assistance.
