finally found a prog that actually lets you open an epub and "speechify" it...

when you run the balabolka prog you simply open the epub and play it

next step, hope to add it as a key combo to calibre itself
UPDATE

another user here (kiwidude) turned me on to the plugin "open with"
(sorry no url but this mobileread page has the plugin zip and instructs to install
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=118761)
(lets you run an program from within calibre, I added it to the context menu, so I can be displaying my database/books, right click and select "open with" and it READS the book to me... really cool ((and handy since my eyes are failing))
