Sorry for the double post, but wanted to make a new comment about my new Kindle

This morning I tested the text-to-speech feature. I've got an FM transmitter I sometimes use for my mp3 player so I can listen in the car. I plugged the transmitter into the Kindle and listened to the book I'm reading as I would an audio-book. It was surprisingly good. Of course it's nothing like a professional audio-book recording, but it was completely acceptable and after a while I found my brain shifting to fill in more expression where the Kindle's speech was lacking, kind of like I was coloring in a black & white photo or something. Anyway, this is fantastic as it means I can *really* be obsessive with my reading now!

I've got about a 20 to 30 minute drive to and from work and audio-books have always been a great way to help me enjoy the commute. Now I can do that and just continue reading normally at lunch or in the evening.

Love it!
