I haven't bought any voices for it, are any of those more natural sounding than the built in voice? Because that annoyed me enough to not use it past the first page of one book! I kind of expected the level of natural with the voices you get in good GPS apps... and it wasn't, it was stilted and really unnatural. Also, the writeup said you'd get a voice appropriate to your country... I guess they did not want to distinguish between the various kinds of English... but I prefer British English to American, but American is what I got.

[Edit] Cancel that. I just trawled the voices and decided that the Neospeech ones were as good as they could be, and closest to natural speech. I bought Bridget (UK) and Paul (US). There werent any Aussie Neospeech. Still dont sound great. Maybe I have been spoiled rotten by audiobooks :-/

I like that it will pull in stuff from dropbox, being as how I store my library there, as well as my pdfs which I dont keep in Calibre.
