The email conversion feature is primarily for personal documents. There is nothing difficult about putting books on a Kindle.

Does anyone know if kindle text to speech is only for some books or for any book?

TTS can be disabled on individual titles at the publisher's request.

No, and 'authors' did not make that claim, the 'Author's Guild' did, which is a very different thing. And that was back in 2009 or so, and in response, Amazon added the feature to allow publishers to disable TTS.

Where do you expect the senior in question to be getting books from?
