You should be aware that the speech is an electronic computer voice, so you're not going to get the inflections and pronunciations that a human would give it. If she reads at about the same speed as the text to speech, she wouldn't have to listen to the voice to have the pages turn automatically.

Well I wasn't aware that any of them could do that so that's something she could try to see how she gets on with it.

I'm not aware of any e-ink readers that are voice activated. All of them require touching buttons or screen to navigate menus and do other basic operations.

What a shame the technology isn't there yet - this would be absolutely ideal in this case. Maybe next time.
Thanks Polly,
