It can play an mp3 with an audoiobook but it doesn't have text to speech.

It *does* have browser, but it has many limitations coming mostly from the fact that the screen refresh speed is something line 1 refresh per second or two. Also forget about flash, video, animations, many scripts. So browser is a nice bonus to document reader. If you want to purchase it with emphasis on browser, consider PocketBook IQ or other LCD device.
Thanks a lot for all that info. No I'm not looking for full fledged browser and understand that eink will have problems with refresh rates. What I'm looking to understand is how much it will lag when compared with the 603+. Basically
I'm looking for something that will allow me to goto google and research furthur on say something technical when reading a book. Can it download pdfs for instance.
