This happens with the speakers or headphones, so it seems to be an issue with the sound chip. Almost like it needs a small bit of warm up before it's able to produce sound.

I doubt I'm going to use this feature much (or play mp3s), so I'm not too worried about it, but wondering if anyone else has this issue. Thanks!

Must be how TTS works on the Kindle cause it's the same on mine. I usually turn it on a sentence before the one I actually want to start at.

They might have fixed it in 3.1.0. I'm on 3.0.3.
