Hi,
For those of you who bought the new 6 or 7 inch Fire HD: How do you like it, and how does Text to Speech compare to the old kindle keyboard, for instance? Is the voice equally un-animated, or does the speech resemble more Siri/OK Google (not sure if OK Google has an actual name)?

I am thinking about picking up a 6incher so I can switch to TTS when driving, but I do have a KK that I bought precisely for this purpose, and which I never use, because the voice is just too computerized-monotonous.
