The Kindle app doesn't have TTS per se, but it does work with Android's Talkback accessibility feature. It can be a bit of a pain to work with, but does work (or did when I tried it about a year ago).

This video might help...

EDIT: Just tried it out and Talkback still works. Not quite the same as regular TTS, but it might work for you.

If you don't have to use the Kindle app then there are other much better options like a combination of Moon+ Reader [Pro] and either Google TTS Service or IVONA both of which work great.

IVONA's voices are obviously more realistic and nicer, tho. The UK Amy version is my most favorite one between them!
