Remember, the audio in the KT worked for audible titles, so taking it out (technically) reduced the potential market for their own audio ebooks.
Yes, but... There are *many* books with no official audio books and there are those of us who do use the TTS feature. It is really nice that my Fire can switch back and forth between ebook and audio, but it's really nice to have TTS when it's available.

And it would be nice if Amazon *really* used Ivona. I played around with it on an android tablet I had for a while and I really preferred quality of the TTS as compared to the default Fire.
