And it is really not true that TTS as a technology is not good. Quality TTS engines exist (I have used AT&T natural voice engine, as well as others that use context prediction to calculate inflection and reduce mispronunciations, and they do an incredible job. This technology is pretty old too, atleast 5 if not 10 or more years...

PC-based TTS systems generally use a pronunciation dictionary for "problem" words. I suspect that, for reasons of size, the Kindle TTS one isn't dictionary-based, which will result in more errors.
