Hi, Mono.
1) about final release. We expect it to be ready in May.
2) The problem is actually not in TTS synthese (we have tested very nice plugins for TTS from SVOX and IVONA). The problem is IMHO in the controll of the function in a book, which is currently not as good as we expect it to be. It is too slow and inconvenient. Unfortunatelly Onyx developers currently simply move this feature in their schedule to the later positions, since it is a rather seldom used feature. Moreover they are thinking to remove audio parts from their new devices to lower the prices (6" devices).. which is not good for development of TTS in onyx devices
