Blog Nightmares!
Hi all, I can see that lots of people are trying to find British voices for the Kindle Touch, now that its been released in the UK. People like a voice from their own country and it's annoying that amazon didn't bother to change it, using the income from their 33% higher prices!
Anyway, I've spent 2 days now scouring every single blog and link online and can't find any single set of instructions which work for the kindle Touch. This blog is typical in giving a clue here, a mention there, a link here and there, but still no solution, and I'll bet it's getting piles of frustrated viewers, like myself! I'm sure that if someone posted up a clear solution to help people, their posting would be HUGE!
I've downloaded the voice packs, spent half a day changing all the file names, tried everything from every blog (most of which is for the K3, but doesn't make it clear), but nothing seems to work.
Also, someone asks above (but gets no answer) why the British-English voice pack file is so small, compared with the one installed. If anyone actually has British-English working on a Kindle Touch, I'd love to know if the quality is much lower? It must be, the files are 10% of the size!
So, one clear set of instructions (particularly for kindle-newbies, like myself) posted online would likely explode with traffic and words of love! If anyone really does know how to do this, please do help us all!

Reason: people were offended by use of capitalisation as 'shouting'! didn't mean it that way, so corrected!
