I've owned a Kobo for about 6 months now but I just purchased a Kindle 3 (I'm waiting for it to arrive).

One of the main selling points for me to get a Kindle is the text to speech feature, I've a family friend with dyslexia and they are very interest to see this in action, the hope is that it will help them read their first book and if all goes well, many more.

My question is does this feature work with any MOBI format eBook? I've got a lot of EPUB books I'd like to convert to MOBI and I wanted to know if they'd work? Also what about the free MOBI books out there?

To be honest I'm happy to buy one or two of the books again from Amazon if it means that my friend can try this out.
