TTS does not compare to dramatized audiobooks. However if you listen to dry books like some of the ones I read they are comparable, without the syntheseised sound. The Kindle is quite good compared to some of the others TTS I've listend too. The only nuance is the occastional pause that is caused by and under powered CPU. I'm hopping that the new kindle has a better processor.


This is probably one of the best features for me. I really like the TTS and use it daily and many here have chimed in that they too love this feature, and like always just as many said boo to that feature.

What I like is you can TTS any book you are reading. You can play audio through the built in speaker, or through a 3.5" audio jack. (more on that later).

It is easy to pause and what I really like about it is you can pickup reading right where the audio left off, then play the audio right where you left off reading. Then if I read from my phone, the wispersync feature will place the page location to the correct spot and I can continue to listen to the audio without having to find where I left off.

This is real convent when for my daily commute. I bought a $10 FM transmitter. During my commute, I hook it up to my Kindle and play the book and listen to it on my car speaker. Then if I read at lunch (either on the Kindle or my phone) I can then resume listing to the book right where I left off.

Thank you.
