Kindle 2's Read-to-me voices?
Does anyone happen to know which particular TTS voices the Kindle 2 is using for the read-to-me function? I've heard the voices in some preview videos, but did not immediately recognize them from what few text-to-speech voices I've had experience with. They don't seem to be AT&T Natural Voices, nor NeoSpeech voices, but I may be mistaken.

I wish I could get mine to read to me in the voice of "KITT"

Original KITT (William Daniels of St. Elsewhere fame) IMHO.

Does anyone even watch the new show? Is it still even on? It just seemed incredibly bad to me. And, after the eipsode where they just stripped in the car and sat there naked and sweating it seemed to me they were going for the T&A aspect rather than good stories and acting. BOb |

However the original Knight Rider was at least fun to watch - the new one is just painful to watch. It was so bad that the naked sweaty folks couldn't save it... |

I can't believe they left Knight Rider on and took off My Own Worst Enemy.
