It might work for fiction too, for me as well. Hard to say yet. I think the biggest obstacle may be the weight and lack of a lighted cover (although third-party options for lighting of course are plentiful), because of the way I like to read... Buying the whole thing was a huge impulse purchase, but so far I'm not regretting it. What a nice piece of hardware.

I have my DXG in my closet, it is a nice ereader. But alas the clip on book lights never worked for me. I either had a droopy one or one that I couldn't aim right. I am strictly a night reader with complete darkness.
It does have a TTS I believe, I can't remember anymore.
Back to the K4BNT ($69 baby kindle) what I find interesting for me is I can now read on smaller size fonts that I was unable to on any other reader I have had
I tried the small fonts on PW and nope I can't see it. I wear glasses (older eyes) and I can read it without my glasses too. I an nearsighted. So between the built in clip on light and the nice dark fonts on the K4BNT I am quite happy with it. I put a few strips of the fabric tape on the back of the cover so it won't slip off my bed at night. Works fine.
By the way my PW went bonkers and I had to deregister it and start over. You know when you open a book (new one) several books down it should put that book on top as "recent". Well it wouldn't do that anymore. Also it would lock up like a computer (mine anyway) and was unresponsive alot. Don't know what to make of the buggy software. I have had it almost one year, is it going to just die quietly now?
