I tried this just now with my KK.
The screensaver may not come on automatically, but I can certainly put the kindle "to sleep" with the power switch, and the TTS keeps reading. I can adjust the volume while the KK is "asleep" but I cannot use the spacebar to pause reading. If I use the power button to wake the sleeping KK, it wakes in slightly under two seconds (faster than I can get the cover open, actually, and if I carry it around while listening to the TTS I will have the cover closed to protect the screen) and then the spacebar pauses the TTS immediately.
I would suggest checking what happens if you first use the power button to wake the sleeping KT, and then open the cover. If the KT is awake by the time you get the cover open then the thing slowing you is the increase in time to use the touchscreen to get to the TTS controls instead of pausing with the spacebar. Perhaps the increased time is less than you think?
I am quite comfortable with the TTS and use it when driving or when I have to do mindless chores like dishes; I would be sad to be without it. I can understand that if its use is less convenient on the KT that might be a reason to go with a different device.
