Congratulations, and welcome abroad the Titanic of book reading. Price being the constraint for you, I think you've made a good choice. Where did you order that from? I'm from India too and I normally find it best to buy electronics directly from the US, when possible. There are quite a few excellent package forwarding services available online, and the savings in cost is substantial.

Nope! And, in my humble opinion, it is not even required. Audiobooks and TTS can be read (err heard) on a smartphone easily. Besides, it would prove to be a very good battery eater for the eReader which otherwise boasts of a very long battery life.

True, and that would be a better choice any day.
