Orignially posted by Maggie Leung - You're mixing the two features. The poster asked about text to speech, which is the robot voice without pauses. Yes, separately, you can buy audiobooks and play them on Kindle, but you can buy audiobooks and play them on many devices, without buying a Kindle. I wouldn't even consider getting a Kindle for audiobook-playing. It holds only a few audiobooks at a time. There's not enough storage. Everybody and his brother owns an MP3 player. If you already have one of those, there's no point considering a Kindle for audiobooks. You might want the text to speech, despite the poor quality, but that's a separate issue. And iPad also has a VoiceOver feature to consider, as the poster is considering an iPad.

Yes Maggie you are right I was asking about text to speech. I already own over 200 audiobooks but have 100's of books which have not been recorded which would have been lovely to listen to if the Kindle speech option was good enough.
I listen to my audiobooks on my iphone, I adore my iphone, I use it to surf the net more than my pc, and now I can read books on it as well, in fact I am reading one on my iphone now, in ibooks, just to try it out, I am thinking a ipad may be the better option for me, eventually. It all depends on what Sony do next.
A Kindle, while a really tempting price, just has too many negatives for me. I want my Sony Touch combined with my iphone tbh
